1. Complete Description

The Medical Laboratory Management module transforms Dolibarr into a genuine professional solution for managing a modern medical analysis laboratory. It covers the entire analysis lifecycle, from the reception of a prescription to the delivery of the validated report, including sampling, biological sample traceability, result entry and biological validation.

Functional scope covered by the module:

·       Laboratory administration and configuration

·       Patient management

·       Referring doctor (prescriber) management

·       Analysis requests workflow

·       Samplings

·       Biological sample traceability

·       Analysis catalogue

·       Result entry

·       Biological validation

·       Quality management

·       Equipment and maintenance

·       Reagents and consumables

·       Medical stock

·       Billing

·       Health insurance relations

·       Medical and financial reporting

2. Architecture

The module follows the native Dolibarr architecture and standards:

·       Native Dolibarr MVC architecture built on the CommonObject class.

·       Registry-driven generic engine: a single object registry declares every business object; shared list and card engines render them, so the module is consistent and easily extensible.

·       Granular user permissions per functional group.

·       CSRF protection, multi-entity and multi-language support (FR, EN, ES, IT, DE).

·       Dolibarr hooks, triggers and cron jobs (daily alert scan).

·       Native integration with Third parties, Products, Invoices, Payments, Stock, Documents and Agenda.

Main business objects: patient, prescriber, analysis (catalogue), request (+ request lines), sampling, sample, result, quality, equipment (+ maintenance), reagent, insurance and alert. Data is stored in dedicated llx_labm_* tables, all multi-entity aware.

3. Features

3.1 Professional dashboard

A modern medical dashboard with KPI cards, interactive charts and smart alert tiles.

3.2 Reception & analysis requests

A fast reception desk creates an analysis request, adds analyses from the catalogue and automatically generates the biological sample. Requests carry a priority (normal, urgent, very urgent).

3.3 Patients & prescribers

Complete patient records (blood group, allergies, medical history, treating doctor, insurance) and a directory of referring doctors with activity statistics.

3.4 Sample traceability & results

Each sample has a unique code and barcode/QR, with a full status lifecycle. Results are entered with normal ranges and automatic abnormal flags (low, high, critical).

3.5 Biological validation

A mandatory step: only a biologist may validate results with an electronic signature. Only validated results can be printed and transmitted.

3.6 Quality, equipment, reagents & stock

Internal quality controls, non-conformities and procedures; equipment maintenance and calibration; reagents and consumables with lots, expiry dates and stock-alert thresholds integrated with native stock.

3.7 Billing, insurance & reporting

Native Dolibarr invoices are generated from analysis requests, distinguishing the patient share from the insurance share. A reporting hub provides medical, financial and quality reports with CSV, Excel and PDF export.

4. Administrator Guide

Installation

·       Copy the laboratorymanagement/ folder into htdocs/custom/.

·       Open Home → Setup → Modules/Applications.

·       Find 'Medical Laboratory Management' and click Activate.

First activation automatically seeds a full demonstration dataset. It can be reinstalled or removed from the module configuration page.

User profiles & permissions

·       Laboratory administrator — full access.

·       Biologist — results and biological validation.

·       Technician — samplings, samples and analyses.

·       Receptionist — patients, requests and billing.

·       Accountant — invoices and payments.

·       Management — reporting and dashboards.

5. User Guide

Typical workflow

Prescription received → Create request (Reception) → Sampling → Sample (traceability) → Laboratory processing → Result entry → Biological validation → Result available → Transmission to patient/doctor → Billing.

Daily use

·       Register patients and referring doctors as they arrive.

·       Use the Reception desk to create requests and auto-generate samples.

·       Enter results and let the biologist validate them from the Validation screen.

·       Monitor reagent expiry and stock alerts from the dashboard.

·       Generate invoices and analyse activity from the Reporting hub.
