VANNIN GROUPGreencube DocsThe diagnostics module (means of diagnosis) is where diagnostic services run their day: worklists, requests, and signed reports for imaging, pathology, endoscopy, laboratory, and other speciality tests, used exclusively by healthcare personnel.
Each diagnostic area works from a live worklist of the day's scheduled and urgent tests, filterable by centre, modality, section, body area, priority, source of the request, and status. Rows show appointment time, waiting time, patient, test, room, and observations from admission. Buttons move each test through its states, from pending arrival and waiting to in process and pending reporting, printing turn tickets on arrival (including arrival by fingerprint recognition) and transferring patients to rooms. A statistics view charts workload by status and modality.
| Area | What the module covers |
|---|---|
| Diagnostic imaging | Requests by modality with clinical judgement, laterality, and portable device flags; a worklist designed for seamless interaction with the PACS image server; report search; and a nursing record for radiology tests covering consumables, allergies, and contrast. |
| Pathological anatomy | Cytology and gynaecological cytology requests and reports, biopsy requests and anatomopathological reports with macroscopic and microscopic descriptions, postmortem studies, tumour protocols, technique lists, and sample dispatch and reception control. |
| Endoscopy | Requests, worklist, and structured reports for gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and ERCP, including complications, polypectomy and dilation detail, and linked biopsy and cytology results. |
| Laboratory | Test requests built from a profile catalogue, duplicate-checked sample label identification, result views with out-of-range highlighting, and per-test history and charts. |
| Other tests | Requests and reports for speciality examinations across areas such as cardiology, urology, gynaecology, and neurophysiology. |
Every test starts from a coded request, usually raised in the patient's medical history, and ends in a report validated and signed by the responsible clinician; signed reports become read-only, with a controlled corrective action process for amendments. Report templates speed up drafting, images and files can be attached, and status changes propagate instantly to worklists, the patient's test map, and the record summary.
The module is fed by requests from medical history, admissions, and the surgical block, sends results back to the shared record and the patient portal and apps, supports multi-centre working with real-time monitoring of samples referred between hospitals, and passes performed tests to billing.
