The laboratory, from the order to the signed report.
The hospital's laboratory as a working whole. A test is ordered from the hospital's own menu, the sample is collected at the bedside, in the ward or at the patient's home, received at the bench with an accession number, entered, verified by a second person and signed out on the letterhead. Quality control, calibration, reagent lots and samples sent to an outside laboratory are kept beside it, and a verified result reaches the ordering doctor in Medico and the patient in Care.
Who uses it: Laboratory staff — technicians, the pathologist who signs, and the collection team
Three kinds of laboratory, one set of screens.
Whether the laboratory sits inside a nursing home, stands on its own, or only collects and sends on, it works on the same screens and the same record.
A hospital or nursing-home laboratory
The laboratory inside the establishment: orders come from the doctors in Medico and the wards in Dock, and results go back to them the moment they are verified.
A standalone diagnostic centre
The same screens in Dock, with the hospital's other groups switched off by the administrator on DK-43. The test menu, the prices and the signatories are the centre's own.
A collection centre
Orders, bedside and home collection, and samples sent on to an outside laboratory, with that laboratory's reports received back and verified before anybody sees them.
From the doctor's order to the patient's phone.
Each step names the screens it happens on. A value leaves the laboratory only after a second person has verified it.
-
MD-20 Order investigations · DK-40 Lab orders
A doctor orders the test from the hospital's own menu, with its price, or the front desk raises the order.
-
DK-41 Specimen collection · DK-93 Bedside and home collection (Dock app)
The sample is collected at the bedside, in the ward or at the patient's home, by a named collector, at the server's time.
-
DK-71 Sample reception
It is received at the bench and given its accession number, or rejected with a reason; the tube label prints with a barcode.
-
DK-72 Bench worklist
The bench works through its list, urgent samples first, and enters the values.
-
DK-42 Result entry
A second person verifies every value. Until then, nobody outside the laboratory sees it.
-
DK-73 Report sign-out
A signatory on the hospital's list signs the report, which prints on the letterhead with the collection record.
-
MD-21 Results inbox · MD-23 Critical lab values
The ordering doctor sees the verified result in Medico, critical values first, and is told at once when a value is critical.
-
CR-04 Reports and bills
The patient sees the released report in Care, on their own phone.
What is on the screen today.
Every line below is a screen that exists, grouped by the app and the menu it is reached through. The count comes from the same build register the published status page reads.
Screen names below are as the build register writes them, in English.
15 of 15 serving today CBS Lab is 100% complete against its own screen list. The whole of it, screen by screen, is in the user guide: /user_guide
Dock · Diagnostics
- Test menu and signers The hospital's own tests and studies with LOINC, sample, turnaround and price; CBS suggests a starter menu and surveyed low, typical and high prices, and nothing applies until the administrator adopts it; who may sign which reports; accession prefixes, collection places, the culture panel and whether optometry is on
- Lab orders Raise, track and cancel a lab order. The ordering half of the specimen lifecycle; no result is shown here because at this stage the specimen has not been taken
- Specimen collection The collection round, with recollection recorded rather than overwriting the original
- Sample reception A collected sample is received at the bench and given its accession number, or rejected with a reason; the tube label prints from the browser with a barcode
- Bench worklist Received samples by bench, STAT first; values entered here wait for a second person to verify them on DK-42
- Result entry Entry, verification and retraction. The API withholds a value until it is verified, and the screen says why the cell is empty
- Culture and sensitivity Preliminary and final culture reports: organisms, colony count and S, I or R against the hospital's own antibiotic panel
- Report sign-out Verified results signed by a person on the hospital's signatory list; the report prints on the letterhead with the sample collection record and only verified values
- Laboratory equipment and QC Analysers taken from the DK-50 equipment register, with calibration and servicing due dates; a daily quality-control log per analyser with pass, warning or fail computed and a Levey-Jennings trend; a failed run is reported, never a block on result entry
- Reagents, outside lab and workload Reagent and kit lots with lot number, expiry and opened-on date, in the laboratory's own ledger; samples sent to an outside laboratory and their reports back, whose values go through DK-42 verification; workload by test and by technician from the result register
Dock app
- Bedside and home collection (Dock app) The phone edition of DK-41 for the collection round: samples waiting to be collected, then collector, qualification, place type and place; the time is the server's; refused with the missing facts named, and kept on the screen when the phone is offline so it can be sent again
Medico · Investigations
- Order investigations Tests and imaging ordered from the hospital's own menu with the price; billed on order where the hospital chooses
- Results inbox Verified results and signed reports for the doctor's own orders, critical values first; unverified values are never shown
- Critical lab values A verified value beyond the hospital's critical range tells the ordering doctor and the in-charge at once, in the app and on the phone; who acknowledged and when is recorded; unacknowledged after the hospital's window (default 15 minutes) it goes to the in-charge and administrators again
Care · My care
- Reports and bills The results and invoices this patient may see, patient-scoped
The bench is checked every day, and outside work is kept apart.
Calibration and daily quality control
Each analyser carries its calibration and servicing due dates. The daily quality-control run is logged against it, marked pass, warning or fail, and drawn as a Levey-Jennings trend. A failed run is reported to the in-charge; it does not lock the bench.
DK-58 Laboratory equipment and QC
Reagents, outside laboratories and workload
Reagent and kit lots with their lot number, expiry and the day they were opened. Samples sent to an outside laboratory are tracked until the report comes back, and its values are verified like the bench's own. Workload is counted by test and by technician.
DK-59 Reagents, outside lab and workload
Culture and sensitivity
Preliminary and final culture reports: the organisms, the colony count, and sensitive, intermediate or resistant against the hospital's own antibiotic panel.
DK-74 Culture and sensitivity
Outside reports
An outside laboratory's report can be read from a scan; nothing is saved until a staff member has checked it against the paper, and it is kept apart from the hospital's own verified results.
CBS Lab does not release a value that nobody has verified. A result entered at the bench waits for a second person, and a failed quality-control run is reported to the in-charge rather than used to lock the bench — the laboratory decides, and CBS records what it decided.
True of Lab, and of no other product
- Every value the doctor and the patient see has been verified by a second person. The API withholds a value until then, and the screen says why the cell is empty.
- An outside laboratory's report read from a scan is confirmed by a staff member before it is saved, and is kept apart from the hospital's own verified results.
- The laboratory is a group of its own in Dock, so it can be run as a business on its own: the administrator switches the hospital's other groups off.

One record underneath, and every product a door onto it.
The patient whose sample the laboratory receives is the same patient the front desk registered in Dock, the doctor opens in Medico and the family follows in Care. No product holds its own copy.
CBS Dock
The hospital management system
The hospital management system: registration, beds, theatre, billing, the laboratory and imaging, the store, the roster, doctor onboarding, staff letters and the audit trail — everything that belongs to the establishment rather than to one clinician or one patient.
Features
CBS Medico
The doctor's daily tool
The doctor's own tool for the day's events, for communication with the hospital, the care team and the patient, and for AI-assisted consultation — the queue, the consultation, the prescription, investigations and their results, the ward round, the discharge narrative and the earnings statement, carried across every establishment they practise at.
Features
CBS Care
The patient, the family, the device
The patient's own door: appointments, medicines, the reports and bills the hospital has released to them, the people looking after them, and the check-in, fall and SOS from the device at home.
Features
CBS Counter
The dispensary and its registers
The dispensary — medicines, surgicals and other consumables: the sale, dispensing against a prescription, stock in and out, expiry, the credit book, the day book and the statutory registers a drug inspector asks for.
Features
CBS Attendant
The bedside device, patent pending
The bedside device for a patient at home or on a ward. When it raises an alarm (SOS, a fall, the call bell, a missed medicine and more), it rings loud on the phone or computer of each person who follows it.
