Medical studies

The Medical Studies module allows capturing, interpreting and sharing clinical results of different study types. The user-visible path is /manage-capture/capture and is offered under the "Study capture" title in the menu.

Supported study types

The system supports the following study types (AndroStudyApiKeys key):

  • Seminogram (SEMINOGRAM)
  • DNA fragmentation (DNAFRAGMENTATION)
  • Insemination (INSEMINATION)
  • Freezing (FREEZING)
  • Unfreezing (UNFREEZING)
  • Papanicolaou (PAPANICOLAOU)
  • Colposcopy (COLPOSCOPY)

Each type has its own capture dialog with specific fields (macroscopic, microscopic, morphological, other cells, etc.).

Study statuses

Studies follow a workflow with four statuses:

  1. Capture: study data is being recorded.
  2. Interpretation: the data was captured and awaits doctor's interpretation.
  3. Results: the study has interpretation recorded.
  4. Finished: the study was delivered and concluded.

How the screen is organized

The screen has four tabs with lazy load:

  1. Capture (0): studies in capture state.
  2. Interpretation (1): studies pending interpretation.
  3. Results (2): studies with interpretation recorded.
  4. Patients (3): list of patients with their studies.

The Patients tab is an auxiliary list to quickly find a specific patient's studies.

Available actions by status

  • Capture: edit, print, next, survey, send survey link, delete.
  • Interpretation: previous, next, interpretation, print, prescription, delete.
  • Results: previous, finish, print, email, delete.
  • Finished: previous, print, email, survey, prescription.

Roles and permissions

  • MEDICAL_CAPTURE or the equivalent module permission to capture, interpret and send studies.
  • To delete studies, normally ADMIN level in the corresponding submodule is required.

Relation with other modules

  • Patients: the study is associated with a patient and their sexual partner when applicable.
  • Cash box: certain studies can generate automatic charges.
  • Prescriptions: from the interpretation or when finishing, a prescription can be generated.
  • Gamete bank: freezing, unfreezing and insemination studies interact with the bank.
  • Services: studies are associated with one or more services.

Operational recommendations

  • Capture the complete data before moving the study to interpretation.
  • Use the andrological survey when applicable; it helps complement the study.
  • Before finishing, confirm that the interpretation is signed and the result is readable.
  • Send the result through the configured channel and keep evidence of the send.
