Pathology Settings


Why Use This Function:

Pathology Settings allow Practices to configure how laboratory requests and results are managed within the system. Since these settings are applied per Entity, they ensure that the configuration aligns with the specific operational needs of the Practice. They also enable you to define default preferences for handling Pathology Requests and results, helping to standardise processes across the Practice, reduce manual administration, and ensure efficient and accurate management of pathology data.
