For diagnostic centres · sample to report

Home collection. Lab workflow. Reports the patient doesn’t call you about.

Diagnostic centres live and die by turnaround time and report-pickup. Lucoze is built around the sample lifecycle — collection, processing, signing, dispatch — with home-collection routing built in.

Why Lucoze fits Diagnostic centres

The four things we got right for you.

Home-collection routing
Phlebotomist routes auto-generated by city zone. Collection complete → sample reaches the lab → patient gets WhatsApp — no phone calls.
NABL-ready workflows
Barcode at collection, audit trail through processing and signing. Inspection bundle on demand.
Outsourced test handling
Tests that go to a reference lab tracked alongside in-house — same patient view, same TAT.
B2B partnerships
Hospital + clinic referrals invoiced separately. Revenue split visible per partner per month.

Lab information management for a diagnostic centre in Lucoze

Built around the sample lifecycle

A diagnostic centre is a pipeline: collection, processing, signing, dispatch. Lucoze tracks each sample through those stages with a barcode from the point of collection, so at any moment you know which samples are pending, which are with the pathologist, and which reports are ready. The patient is notified on dispatch instead of calling the front desk to chase a result.

Home collection and reference labs, in one view

Home-collection routes are grouped by city zone for the phlebotomist, and tests sent to an outside reference lab sit in the same patient view as in-house work, tracked to the same turnaround. B2B referrals from hospitals and clinics are invoiced separately, with the revenue split visible per partner.

From registration to report, every sample has a status

A test moves through fixed steps: registration, sample collection, barcoding, processing, result entry, and report delivery. Lucoze records which step each barcoded sample is on, so when a patient or a referring doctor asks where a report is, the front desk answers from the screen instead of walking to the lab bench. At result entry, values are checked against the test's reference range, so out-of-range readings are flagged for the pathologist before the report is signed. Once signed, the report goes back to the referring doctor and the patient by download or WhatsApp, without anyone re-keying it. Home-collection samples join this same chain the moment the phlebotomist marks them collected. Because each step is stamped with who did it and when, the same record answers a where-is-my-report question and forms the traceable trail a NABL-oriented lab is expected to keep.

Turnaround time you watch before the patient calls

Every test has an expected turnaround. Lucoze records when the sample was collected and compares it against that expected time as processing runs, so a sample drifting past its window surfaces on the pending list before the patient rings to ask. The lab chases the delay instead of the front desk absorbing the complaint. The same view covers tests sent to an outside reference lab: the send-out keeps its own expected turnaround, so a slow partner is visible in the same place as in-house work rather than disappearing until the report comes back. Delays become something the lab sees, not something the patient reports.

Common questions

Diagnostic centres, the questions we hear first.

Does Lucoze support home sample collection?

Yes. Collection routes are generated by city zone, and each sample is tracked from home collection through to report dispatch, with WhatsApp updates to the patient.

Is the workflow suitable for NABL-accredited labs?

The barcode-at-collection and the audit trail through processing and signing are built to support NABL documentation, and an inspection bundle can be produced on demand. Accreditation itself remains the lab's responsibility.

How are outsourced/reference-lab tests handled?

They appear alongside in-house tests in the same patient view and are tracked to the same turnaround, so nothing falls between systems.

Can staff tell a patient exactly where their sample is?

Yes. Each barcoded sample carries the step it is on — collected, in processing, result entered, or dispatched — so the front desk reads the current status off the screen rather than checking with the lab bench. The same status drives the patient's WhatsApp update on dispatch.

Does Lucoze flag results that fall outside the reference range?

At result entry, each value is checked against the test's reference range and out-of-range readings are flagged, so the pathologist sees them before signing. The flag travels with the result into the report that reaches the referring doctor and the patient.
