Pathology Settings



Why Use This Function:

Pathology settings allow practices to configure how laboratory tests and results are managed within the system. Since entity settings are applied per entity (not per user), they ensure that the program aligns with the specific needs of the practice. Pathology is used for conducting and overseeing laboratory tests on body fluids, such as blood work and other diagnostic samples. GoodX is fully integrated with the main pathologists in South Africa, making it convenient for doctors to send test requests and receive patient pathology results electronically through the system.
