The Laboratory is a list of laboratory procedures.

Normally if the practice is registered as a Labortorium or is registered to charge the patients for the laboratory procedures that was done and the practice pays the Labortorium for the service.

Please ask the FCL to load the codes if the practice is using these codes.

The Last Visit tab provides a detailed Report of the most recent appointments for each Patient at the Practice. By accessing this tab, you can easily identify which Patients have not returned for follow-up visits within a specified time frame. This feature is particularly useful for identifying Patients who may require reminders to encourage them to schedule their next appointment, ensuring continuity of care and maintaining Patient engagement with the Practice.

Layout and Calculations give the user explanations of the data that is available on a financial report.

When reports are generated the data is divided into columns. The information within each column will relate to the header. The data is generated from the Settings and Parameters that the user has set up.

Each financial report has calculations which is a mathematical equation used to determine the values that appear on the report.

All transactions must be posted to a ledger account in financial terms.

A Ledger account is a financial book (or record) for collecting historical transaction data from a journal and organizing entries by account.

Ledger account is summarized in sections, for example:

• Income Ledgers.
• Expense Ledgers.
• Current and Fix Asset Ledgers.
• Liabilities Ledgers.

• Capital and Long-term ledgers.

The Lenght of the patient is how long the patient is. This is normally measured in centimetres (cm).

Creating a Letter Event for Workflow Events allows the Practitioner to seamlessly integrate examination information into a Letter specifically designed for Referral purposes, by automatically populating all the relevant information onto the form. This allows for the efficient inclusion of relevant details from the examination, ensuring comprehensive and accurate communication when referring a Patient to another Healthcare Professional or Specialist. Using the Letter streamlines your referral process and eliminates the need for duplicate work. 

Linking and unlinking a Practitioner establishes or removes the connection between a Practitioner’s profile in GoodX and their corresponding record in MediBase. This process ensures that Practitioner details remain synchronised across both systems.

Practitioners who wish to access and use myGC must first be linked between GoodX and MediBase. MediBase is a comprehensive and up-to-date repository of healthcare Practitioners’ contact details and demographic information, helping maintain accuracy and consistency across platforms.

Properly linking Practitioners enables seamless data integration, reducing manual data entry and ensuring that essential Practitioner information is always current.

Linking Clinical Data creates a connection between the Clinical Data that has already been captured on the Patients' original file and a new file. A new file is created when a Patient is no longer associated with the original debtor where their file was initially created, for example, the Patient has moved to their own Medical Aid, got married or divorced.

Linking a Debtor to a Transaction Group allows the Practice to allocate a Debtor to a group that determines what settlement discount the Debtor qualifies for.
