Why Ampath results need a better clinical workflow

Ampath results are common in South African private practice, but doctors still need a practical way to keep them connected to the patient journey. ClinFuse helps doctors search, link, review, and act on Ampath laboratory information from the same workspace used for notes and follow-up.

For Ampath, ClinFuse supports private-lab Search & Link using patient identity details, lab-specific patient selection, result fetching where available, PDF upload workflows for supported Ampath reports, cumulative review, AI-assisted summaries, notes, and patient to-dos. Ampath duplicate patient rows are handled with lab-specific patient identifiers so the selected row can be preserved through linking and fetching.

How to work with Ampath results in ClinFuse

  1. Configure Ampath credentials in your ClinFuse profile if connected search is part of your workflow.
  2. Search using patient identity details such as ID number, first name, and surname rather than NHLS MRN.
  3. Choose the correct Ampath patient candidate when more than one row is returned.
  4. Fetch supported Ampath results or upload a supported Ampath lab or histology PDF.
  5. Review the linked results cumulatively and create notes, summaries, shares, or follow-up tasks as needed.

Frequently asked questions about Ampath results

Does ClinFuse search Ampath by MRN?

No. In ClinFuse, MRN is for NHLS. Ampath and other private-lab workflows use patient identity details and lab-specific identifiers.

Can ClinFuse handle multiple Ampath rows for the same ID number?

ClinFuse is designed to preserve the selected Ampath patient identifier through linking and fetching so doctors can target the correct result row.
