From requisition to signed report without a single retype.

What a laboratory information system does in an Indian hospital

Orders arrive from the OPD, the wards and walk-ins. Each sample is labelled with a barcode, tracked from collection to result, and rejected with a reason when it has to be. Results are entered by the technician and validated by the pathologist in a second step, amendments keep their history, and the report is a deterministic PDF that looks the same every time it is printed.

Reference ranges are set by age and sex, turnaround time is tracked per test, and the report-ready board shows the front desk what can be handed over.

Critical results that close the loop

A critical value is only useful if the treating doctor sees it. Curanto raises a critical-result alert to the doctor and keeps it open until someone acknowledges it, so an unread potassium of 6.8 does not sit in a queue overnight.

Quality control and the statutory forms

Internal quality control runs are recorded against each analyte and plotted on Levey-Jennings charts, so drift shows before it reaches a patient's report. For ultrasound and other PC-PNDT work, the report cannot be rendered until Form F is complete.

• Tests, panels, units and methods in one master
• Barcode sample tracking with rejection reasons
• Two-step validation with amendment history
• Internal QC with Levey-Jennings charts
• Email dispatch and a patient portal for reports

For standalone diagnostic centres

Curanto also runs a standalone lab or pathology chain: walk-in registration, billing for diagnostic services, samples received from other centres, email dispatch and the patient portal, on the Clinic Team plan or above.
