8. Clinical Information: Roles & Purpose

8.5. Results

Results are the results that were received from the special investigations. The results of the test that the patient received should always be documented. It is at most important that patient results should be uploaded, scanned or pulled into the system to keep up to date with the patient condition.

Some features in GoodX can pull results into the patient clinical results section. Some of the features are:


Web App

Some of the results that the practitioner will need to look at will be:


Pathology results

The Pathology request will create a task for the practitioner when the results are back from the pathologist. The practitioner can investigate the results and decide what the best possible treatment plan will be and if any treatment is necessary. The practitioner can contact the patient to discuss the results. This assists the practitioner with shorter waiting periods for results and prevents results from getting misplaced.


PDF report

When PDF documents are received from any technician or medical practitioner, the PDF documents can be uploaded to the patient’s clinical notes and notes can be added to the PDF report. The PDF documents will then always be part of the patient clinical history and the practitioner will have access at all times. 


Clinical History

All GoodX forms form part of the patient’s clinical history so that the practitioner can track a patient’s health over time. The practitioner can have access any time at any place to the patient clinical information. The information will assist the practitioner in better treating the patient.


Radiology Report

The Radiologist can send the Radiology report to the practitioner electronically when the results are done after the patient went for the scans. The Practitioner can upload the report to the Patient file on the Web. 

The practitioner can investigate the results and decide what the best possible treatment plan will be and if any treatment is necessary. 

The practitioner can contact the patient to discuss the results. This assists the practitioner with shorter waiting periods for results and prevents results from getting misplaced if it's not sent and uploaded electronically.


Download/Email/Print Forms

All GoodX forms can be downloaded, emailed or printed. Please refer to the Communication Subchapter for more information on the functionality of the forms and when the download, Email and Print functions will have benefits.


Desktop App: 


Patient Documents

Patient documents are used to store any patient reports such as x-rays, pathology reports, etc. The documents can be uploaded to the patient file and viewed as needed. A preview view is available as a thumbnail view.


Doc Man

Debtor Document Manager is used to store any patient documents such as IDs, medical aid cards, pathology results, images etc. The Document Manager will assist in organising the patient document into categories. When the documents are uploaded to the patient file certain types need to be selected to indicate what type of document is uploaded.
