Pathology Request

Why Use This Function:

Pathology studies the causes and effects of disease, forming a vital part of diagnosis and treatment. The GoodX Pathology Request function streamlines this process by integrating with leading laboratories such as Ampath, Lancet, Pathcare, and Vermaak & Partners. Practitioners can send electronic test requests directly to Pathologists, while results are returned and linked to the Patient’s profile. This reduces errors, speeds up turnaround times, and enables faster, more informed decisions, which ultimately improve Patient care.
