Lab Test Lifecycle

​

Introduction

We encapsulate our lab test modalities in the order object. An order has a status which represents the high-level status of the order. Each test has different sub-statuses which are modality specific.

​

Statuses

​

High level statuses

The high level statuses of an order, are represented by order.status:

• received
• collecting_sample
• sample_with_lab
• completed
• cancelled
• failed

Modality specific sub-statuses are encapsulated in the order.events list. These include a list of all the events for that test:

Copied{
        ...,
        "status": "cancelled",
        "events": [
            {
                "id": 1,
                "created_at": "2022-01-01T00:00:00Z",
                "status": "received.testkit.ordered",
            },
            {
                "id": 2,
                "created_at": "2022-01-01T00:00:00Z",
                "status": "received.testkit.requisition_created",
            },
            {
                "id": 3,
                "created_at": "2022-01-01T00:00:00Z",
                "status": "collecting_sample.testkit.transit_customer"
            },
    ],
}

​

• testkit.completed
• testkit.failure_to_deliver_to_customer
• testkit.sample_error
• testkit.lost
• testkit.cancelled
• testkit.do_not_process

​

Walk in visit statuses
