LAB PACKAGE
The lab packages are what the user can order during consultations. Each clinic will have its own catalogue of packages although they may all share the same supplier.
THIRRA uses the LOINC classification of lab tests. Lab tests are grouped by LOINC class names. Hence each package will have only one class name.
At the most basic level, the clinic may record just the results summary. The clinic can also record the lab results in detail if needed, by adding the lab package tests. For instance, a Hematology package may consists of readings for Haemoglobin, Platelets Count, Mean corpuscular volume, etc. Try to follow the exact order using the sorting order field, as it appeared in the actual physical lab report, so that the user can capture the data in the exact order.
When the results are returned, the clinic may choose to record all of the readings, or just the abnormal readings.
