1. Select a patient → The first tab involves searching and selecting a patient. The search grid can be narrowed down with the search field. Once a patient is selected, the main and important information about this patient will be displayed at the bottom of the form in a table. Until the patient has been selected, the laboratory technician cannot save the new request.
2. Analytical tests → In this tab, the laboratory technician must choose which tests are requested and required for the patient. Groups and profiles will appear in case the proper parameter is enabled. More than one element from each list may be chosen, but at least one test must be requested one way or another. Tests selected as part of a group or profile (highlighted in purple) cannot be deselected individually.
3. Biological samples → This tab informs the laboratory technician of the type of sample that must be taken, depending on the tests chosen in the previous tab. There are no required fields in this tab, but if the laboratory technician wants to add a comment, there is a comment box for each sample.
4. Basic information → In this tab, other optional fields are provided like physician, the room or bed of the patient. Additional information like a diagnostic orientation or the pregnancy status can also be indicated.
