Record typesLast updated: 2026-07-07

Pathology and lab report preparation

Pathology and lab report preparation preserves specimen context, result dates, values, units, reference ranges, and source references. Values should not be silently converted or clinically interpreted inside a record-preparation packet.

Record handling notes

The record type is handled as source material. MedDossier keeps source context visible and avoids adding clinical interpretation.

Selection checklist

  • Keep the original file.
  • Record date and source.
  • Preserve units and reference ranges when present.
  • Label patient-provided context separately.
