A pathology request prints on your practice letterhead for the patient to take to a collection centre. Bilby doesn’t send it to a laboratory.

​
Who can request pathology

It depends on the specialty on your practitioner profile. Medical practitioners, nurse practitioners, midwives and dentists can. Other professions, such as psychologists and physiotherapists, can’t, and neither can a profile with no specialty.

​
Write a request

  1. Open the patient’s Pathology tab and select New pathology request.
  2. Add the tests and any notes.
  3. Select Publish and print, or Save draft to finish later.
A published request is part of the clinical record and can’t be changed. Select Reprint to print it again.

​
Set up saved tests

Saved tests save typing the same tests each time. An admin adds them in Settings › Pathology tests with Add test. A bundle adds several tests at once. Select Archive to stop offering one; you can restore it later.
