Beta videos

These videos are intended to guide users through the Bika Health 0.3 beta version for evaluation purposes. The videos were captured on a limited and sometimes confusing database and are not intended as formal training tools

Basic Workflow

Analysis Request registration

Analysis Requests (ARs) can be created by starting on a Patient record or in the Patient's primary Referrer (Clinic) folder. In this video we are using the latter

This video shows how to 'sample' and 'preserve' specimen in the LIMS, one at a time, as basic building block for worksheets and other 'bulk' processes. Please comment - the workflow might vary between locations and can be adjusted and automated

Receiving Samples and managing results

When Samples arrive at the lab they are checked in by changing their status to received. This can be done on Sample or AR views individually, or in bulk say when batches arrive at the lab, from lists of Samples and ARs in 'preserved' status. Results can be captured for Sample that have been received. On individual views or Worksheets configured for specific lab workstations. Worksheets are demonstrated elsewhere. In this video we follow a single Analysis Request through receipt and results capturing to demonstrate the workflow in its most basic format
