From sample to a signed, verifiable report.

A live queue board moves every order from collection to release, with a turnaround countdown on each sample, so nothing sits unnoticed on a bench. Every report that leaves the lab is signed, on a bilingual letterhead and provable.

An animated recreation of the lab queue with sample data: orders move lane by lane, and a sample is marked the moment it runs late.

The morning bench

One board. Every sample.
Nothing forgotten.

The queue board shows the whole lab's day by stage: awaiting collection, collected and in process, awaiting verification, and released once verified. Each order card carries its own turnaround countdown, and the moment one passes its due time it is marked TAT slipping, so a late sample never hides in the pile.

How it works

Every test walks
the same road.

A test ordered in the consult room reaches the billing desk already filled in, and the moment it is billed it is in the lab's queue; a ward order goes onto the admission's bill and the bench together. From there, the path is the same for every sample in the building, and the board shows exactly where each one stands.

Laboratory · 01

Ordered once.
No slips, no re-typing.

The doctor orders; the billing desk sees it already filled in, and once it is billed it is in the lab queue. On the ward, an order is charged to the admission as it is placed and goes straight to the bench.

  • Unpaid tests wait. If a stay's deposit cannot cover a test, it is held as awaiting payment and released to the lab once paid, so the lab never works for free by accident.
  • The clock starts at once. Every sample gets its own due time from the test's turnaround setting.
  • The bench knows where to go. A ward patient's card carries the ward and bed.

Laboratory · 02

Collected in one go.
Redrawn with a reason.

Barcode labels print at the desk, and a whole order collects in one action. When a tube comes back haemolysed, the bench sends just that test back for a fresh draw, and the ward sees exactly which patient needs it.

  • A reason, every time. A recollection cannot be sent without one, and the test returns to Awaiting collection.
  • The ward is told. Ward staff see every sample awaiting recollection, with the patient, bed and reason.
  • Nothing is lost. Both draws stay on the sample's timeline, with names and times.

The screen does the arithmetic.
The technician does the science.

Result entry is where a lab's day is won or lost. Cliniqi structures every test into its real parameters, so entry is fast, checked as it happens, and impossible to leave half-done.

  • The right range for this patient. Structured fields carry the reference range for the patient's age and sex.
  • Flags and calculations as you type. High, low and critical values mark themselves; derived values fill in on their own.
  • Required means required. A test with a mandatory value missing cannot be sent to verify.

No report leaves without
a pathologist's signature.

Every result passes through review. The pathologist can sign electronically, or return it for re-entry with a note that tells the bench exactly what to fix. Nothing releases unsigned.

  • What changed since last time. Each test shows its change against the patient's previous visit.
  • Release what is ready. Sign the tests that are complete; the rest follow when their values are in.
  • Follow-ups, never silent. A suggested follow-up test goes to the billing desk for a proper yes.
  • Reopen with a reason. If a released result ever needs a second look, an authorised person can reopen it, with a reason, and the whole sequence sits on the audit trail.

Released on the letterhead.
Provable by anyone.

On the hospital's bilingual letterhead, QR-verifiable, and dispatched by SMS, email, print or straight into the patient's ABHA record.

  • A bilingual letterhead. The hospital's name and address in हिंदी and English, on its own letterhead design.
  • Two signatures on the page. Verified-by and checked-by, printed with the report.
  • A QR code anyone can scan. A patient, a referring doctor or an insurer can confirm the report is genuine. More on trust and verification.

How it connects

Orders come in billed.
Results go back out.

The lab works off the same patient record as the front desk and the wards. It works with Radiology for imaging orders on the same record, and with Billing & Revenue so every test bills itself.

Dispatch in one click

Released, then sent
in one click.

A verified report should not wait at a counter for someone to come and ask. The moment it is signed, it can go everywhere it is needed, in one click. Nothing goes out by accident: the desk ticks each channel and can check every recipient first.

  • SMS. The patient's phone gets the news as soon as the desk dispatches the report.
  • Patient email. The full report, as released. No trip back to the hospital for a piece of paper.
  • Referring doctor email. The doctor who sent the patient sees the result without chasing anyone.
  • Print. The letterhead copy, signatures and QR code included, for the collection counter.
  • ABHA health record. Straight into the patient's national health record, where their history lives.

Your catalogue, your rules

The catalogue is
the hospital's own.

3,600+ tests, each with its parameters, reference ranges, calculations and prices, maintained in-house by your own team, without a vendor ticket. Load the whole catalogue from a spreadsheet with a row-by-row preview before anything is saved.

  • Panels that order as one. A diabetes panel, a lipid panel: one selection, every test in it queued and billed.
  • Scheme-specific rates and codes. CGHS, TPA and other payers each carry their own price and code, applied on their own at billing.
  • Parameters marked mandatory. A result cannot release with required values missing.

One working hospital's live catalogue runs close to 600 tests, with over 1,300 parameters marked mandatory, so no report ever goes out half-filled.

ƒFormula checkedTry it · 3.5 / 2.8 = 1.25

Bulk import. A whole spreadsheet, previewed row by row before anything is saved.

Ranges by age and sex. Set once in the catalogue; the right one is picked for each patient.

Conditional fields. Set in the catalogue, shown at entry only when an answer calls for them.

Result entry, built for speed

Checked as it is typed.
Complete before it is sent.

The details that keep a busy bench fast and a report right, without anyone looking anything up.

Ranges that know the patient

Reference ranges are age- and sex-specific. A newborn's bilirubin and a grown man's are judged against different normals, automatically, without the technician looking anything up.

Flags at the moment of entry

Abnormal and critical values flag themselves as they are typed, not after the report goes out. Critical values raise a notification that reaches the right clinician, without waiting for the report to be dispatched.

Derived values calculate themselves

Ratios, indices and counts calculate on their own from the values already entered. Nobody computes an A/G ratio on a phone calculator.

Fields shaped for the bench

Special field types where the work needs them, including minute-and-second timings for coagulation tests, entered and printed exactly the way the bench records them.

Fields that appear when relevant

Conditional fields show up only when an earlier answer calls for them. The screen stays short; the record stays complete.

Smart follow-ups

When a value crosses a threshold your lab has set, Cliniqi suggests the right follow-up tests, routed through billing for a proper yes, never added silently. See how the intelligence works.
