We are implementing senaite as an LIS, but we encountered a challenge in setting up parameter for Culture test which requires to release results for Gram stain first and proceed with Bacteria identification, then being able to test the drug resistance for different drug for each bacteria identified. Can someone share the way they have configured?
Hi @oluoga
A warm welcome to the Senaite forum and community.
There used to be a specific add-on for reflex testing at GitHub - senaite/senaite.reflex: Reflex Testing machinery for SENAITE. I assume the functionality was incorporated into the Senaite core. Can you share more information about your test algorithm/methods document?
@ronaldm thank you for responding to my issue,
Here is the workflow for the culture test request: for example for blood culture you would first test for gram stain where its results need to go to the doctor, whele you proceed with the Bacteria identification, here you may find one or more this is the second results then finally we will need to check the drug sensitivity for each identified bacteria where for each drug you need to check if it is resistant or sensitive etc,
What I did was to add test parameter: gram stain and Bacteria identification, while the drug sensitivity part was handled through the results templates where user will input the sensitivity in the interpretation area .
The problem with my approach is I can not verify the result for one parameter which for this test requires to submit the gram stain before other test which will need more time. I will also take a look on your suggestion
