In the ever-evolving world of medical diagnostics, the ability to quickly and accurately interpret lab results is crucial. Our latest upgrade to the trend charts in lab report printouts marks a significant advancement in how data is presented and analyzed. This enhancement promises to provide healthcare professionals with a more intuitive and informative way to track patient test results over time.

Previously, the trend charts in lab report printouts had some limitations that affected their utility:

No Result Values Displayed: The trend charts lacked specific result values on the X and Y axes, making it challenging for users to interpret data trends and changes accurately.

Single Trend Chart Per Row: Each row in the report featured only one trend chart, leading to inefficient use of space and making it harder to view multiple trends simultaneously.

Our recent enhancement addresses these issues with the following improvements:

🔍 Enhanced Clarity: Result values are now prominently displayed on both the X and Y axes of the trend charts. This addition allows users to easily see and understand the data points, providing a clearer view of how test results have changed over time. 

📈 Better Data Analysis: By showing result values, healthcare professionals can more accurately assess patient progress and trends, making it easier to identify any significant changes or anomalies.

📅 Two Trend Charts Per Row: The updated design now features two trend charts per row, optimizing the layout and making better use of available space. This compact arrangement allows for a more comprehensive view of multiple trends in a single glance.

🗂️ Improved Usability: The new layout ensures that users can efficiently compare different test results and track multiple parameters without needing to scroll through numerous pages.

📊 Detailed Insights: With result values displayed, users can gain deeper insights into patient data. This feature helps in understanding the magnitude of changes in test results, facilitating more informed clinical decisions.

📉 Trend Analysis: The ability to view and compare multiple trends at once provides a holistic view of patient health, enabling healthcare providers to monitor long-term changes and patterns more effectively.

📝 Efficient Reporting: The new compact layout reduces the need for extensive scrolling and searching through reports, making the review process quicker and more efficient.

📅 Comprehensive View: Having multiple trend charts in one view allows for easier comparison and analysis, saving time and improving overall workflow.

The enhancement of trend charts in lab report printouts is a significant step forward in improving data visualization and analysis. By providing a clearer and more detailed representation of test results, this upgrade supports healthcare professionals in delivering more accurate diagnoses and effective patient care.

📈 Improved Patient Monitoring: Accurate trend analysis helps in tracking patient progress more effectively, leading to better management of chronic conditions and timely interventions.

🔍 Enhanced Decision-Making: With better data interpretation tools, healthcare providers can make more informed decisions based on comprehensive and clear insights.

In summary, the enhanced trend charts represent a meaningful improvement in lab report printouts, aligning with our commitment to advancing healthcare technology and supporting better patient outcomes. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to enhance our features for your convenience and efficiency.

In charitable hospitals, setting the right price for medications and supplies is critical to balancing patient affordability with institutional financial sustainability. Generally, hospitals have to dispense medicines at prices below the Maximum Retail Price (MRP) but still maintain their operations at the cost of procurement. This challenge is especially important in pharmacy sales management, where a delicate balance between cost and revenue is needed.

To address this pricing challenge, we introduced a new feature to the Goods Received Note (GRN) screen: the sale rate calculator. This tool is designed to simplify the process of determining the best selling price for products, ensuring that your pricing strategy is fair and economical.

When an item is added to the GRN screen, there are typically three basic pricing options involved:

Purchase Price: The cost at which the product is acquired from the supplier.

MRP (Maximum Retail Price): The highest price at which the product can be sold to patients.

Selling Rate: The price elasticity that allows hospitals to sell the product is at a price between the purchase price and the MRP.

Calculating sales prices has never been easier with the new Sale Rate Calculator feature. If the Sale Rate option is enabled for an item, the Sale Rate field automatically appears on the GRN screen when the item is selected. Here’s how the sales rate calculator enhances the process:

Step 1: Automatic display: As soon as you add the item to the GRN screen, the selling rate field is displayed next to the purchase price and MRP.

Step 2: To access the calculator: Next to the Sale Rate field, you will see a calculator icon. Clicking on this icon opens the Sale Rate Calculator.

Step 3: Calculation Level Selection: The calculator will ask you to calculate based on the purchase price or based on MRP.

Step 4: To enter the margin percentage: Now you can enter the desired margin percentage.

Step 5: Automatic Calculation: The calculator will calculate the sales volume based on your input.

Let’s review a couple of examples to clarify how this feature works.

Example 1: If you set the purchase price as ₹100 and MRP as ₹200 and enter a margin percentage of 50% based on the purchase price, the sales volume will be calculated as ₹150.

Example 2: Alternatively, if you base your calculation on the MRP and include a 50% margin, the sales volume will be calculated as₹100, which reflects the discount from the MRP.

This tool allows you to dynamically adjust pricing, ensuring it is aligned with your hospital’s pricing strategy and charitable goals.

The sales rate calculator offers several key benefits:

Efficiency: Calculate best-selling prices quickly, saving time in the pricing process.

Flexibility: Allows you to easily adjust to meet your hospital’s specific pricing needs.

Transparency: Provides transparency of sales pricing, which supports good financial management.

The Sale Rate Calculator is a valuable addition to our GRN screen, empowering charity hospitals to more accurately and easily manage their pricing strategy. By automating and streamlining sales calculations, this feature helps hospitals strike the critical balance between patient affordability and financial health.
