# How to record Investigation Results

The Investigation module on Clinicea can handle Lab Reporting for in-house Labs, as well in situations where you may be collecting the sample and then sending the sample out to an external lab.

Right from ordering Investigations _(for more info please have a look at [How to order Investigations](https://help.clinicea.com/en/article/how-to-order-investigations-wvkvuu/)),_ to collecting of samples, and subsequent recording of results, can all be done very simply and systematically in Clinicea.

_For example, You, as the Doctor, consult a Patient and order an Investigation, such as **CBC Blood Test.** Let us show how can your Clinic Staff go about entering the results for CBC blood test._

**1**. Go to **Investigations** and click on **Record Result.** By default, it shows all Investigations which have been ordered over the last 2 days for whom results have not been recorded. Search open the Investigation you want to enter the result for. _Ex: CBC Blood Test._

**2**. An **Investigation Details** window will open with the name of the Investigation appearing on the top, _for example CBC Blood Test._

Click on the **drop-down menu** under **Result.** You can set the result status as **_Normal, Abnormal, Recorded or Not Recorded._** If this is an important Investigation and you would want to see this included in the Patients Chart under Medical Summary, click on the **Flag icon** on the side.

**3.** There are **3 ways** of **recording** a result**.**

**(a).** If you want to simply attach the paper-based report you have received, then scan in the papers onto your computer and attach it.

**(b).** If it is a Radiology Result that you would like to record, then Click on **Text** and put down the Impression and Findings. You can also attach the images as explained in the step above. Once done click on Save.

**(c).** If it is a Lab Result, in which you would want to enter values for each parameter/component, that too is supported. You need to have set up the parameters you want to record for each Lab Test along with its reference range.
