• Key Concepts: 
  Reference range is a feature of the IS-HMED Clinical System that allows users to set up ranges of values for laboratory tests. These ranges are used to determine if a patient’s test results are within normal limits or if they require further investigation. Reference ranges can be set up for individual tests or for groups of tests. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Reference ranges can be set up in the IS-HMED Clinical System by entering the desired range for each test. The system will then compare the patient’s test results to the reference range and alert the user if the results are outside of the normal range. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that the reference ranges are set up correctly in order to get accurate results. It is also important to remember that reference ranges may vary depending on the patient’s age, gender, and other factors.
