Build a Web Application for Laboratory (Pathology) -- 2

Software Requirements: Ruby on Rails Web Application designed specifically for Laboratories to help digitalize the process of inputting patient information, receiving a Pathology case and creating a simple workflow that will follow Macroscopy, Histotechnique and the final diagnostic from a certified Pathologist. Patologos Online also benefits patients who want to know the status of their cases and get notified instantly as they are completed. The project requires authentication and user roles. For example, the secretary should not be able to modify the results of the case but he/she can input patient's data. A doctor cannot modify the patient's information only support case results, etc. All Logic and Requirements should be explained in detailed in this document. To fulfill a pathology exam, the patient needs to provide a list of documents including a copy of the government ID and Medical Order (Referral) which includes all the information from the insurance company. The patient will take this documentation to a laboratory, the information is received by a secretary (administrative assistant) and it is input into the computer (In this case, it will be using the web application developed). If the patient is already in the system, a new case is created based on the medical order (Referral). If the patient is new, it must be entered into the system before a case can be create. For example, the patient can bring 2 samples from two different tissues. The case is assigned to Macroscopy to prepare the samples. After the samples are prepared, the case assigned to Histotechnology to color it. Finally, the case is assigned to a certified Pathologist who provides a final diagnosis/results. This is a high level general flow without any special functionality including reporting, notifications, authentication, etc.
