Centre Workflow
Run the daily patient and test flow with confidence.
This guide focuses on the screens technicians use most: Dashboard, Patient Register, Tests, New Test, Edit Test, links, report handoff, and invoice work.
Daily Routine
What technicians usually do
Start on Dashboard
Review today's patients, revenue, pending cases, and pending reports.

Use Patient Register
Search first, then create the patient only if needed.

Use Tests as the main work screen
Create tests, update status, open links, and complete handoff steps.

Patient
Find or add the patient
- Open Patient Register.
- Search for the patient first.
- If not found, click Create.
- Enter patient details and save.
Always search first. Duplicate patient records create confusion later in tests, reports, and billing.
New Test
Create a new test
- Open Tests.
- Click New Test.
- Select the centre if your login requires it.
- Select the patient and referring doctor.
- Select the service.
- Check order date and fee.
- Set payment mode and payment status.
- Confirm whether reporting is needed.
- Add notes if needed.
- Click Place Order.
Check before saving
Patient, doctor, service, and fee should all match the actual visit.
Use notes carefully
Add only useful centre notes that help the next step in the workflow.
Main Screen
Work from the Tests page
The Tests page is the main working screen for most technician activity.
- Use the date, scan type, and centre filters to reduce the list.
- Open the edit action to correct test details.
- Use row actions to open DICOM, Cross Sections, report PDF, or WhatsApp share when visible.
- If your role shows it, use the radiologist allotment action carefully.
Status Updates
Update scan, payment, and report status
- Find the correct order on Tests.
- Move scan status as work progresses: Pending, In Progress, Completed.
- Update payment status when money is received: Pending, Partial, or Paid.
- Update report status only when the case is truly at the next stage.
Status changes are visible to other users. Do not update them early just to clear the list.
Handoff
Manage Drive links and complete handoff
- Open the link action from the test row.
- Paste the Google Drive folder link containing the uploaded image set.
- Paste the Cross Sections link if available.
- Paste the final report PDF link when the radiologist has completed reporting.
- Click Save Links.
The radiologist works from the shared Google Drive folder and then marks the case as Reported in Wave Imaging. After that, the technician can print the report and send WhatsApp communication from the Tests screen.
Some teams may use an Attach Report dialog instead of the link dialog. If that is part of your centre workflow, attach the final report there and mark it ready.
Billing
Invoice or receipt work
- Open the receipt or order link from the test row.
- Review patient, service, and amount details.
- Print or save the invoice if your centre needs it.
Daily Habits
Good habits for centre users
Search before creating
Avoid duplicate patients and duplicate tests.

Check links after saving
A broken DICOM or report link slows the next user immediately.
