Laboratory Management System (LIMS) in PHP MySQL | Pathology Lab Software with Patient Portal

Welcome to this step-by-step guide on building a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) using PHP, MySQL, and Bootstrap. 🚀

In this video, we create a complete Lab Management Software with three types of users:
✔️ Admin – Define tests, set prices, manage test parameters & enter results.
✔️ Collection Point User – Register patients, collect samples, generate receipts.
✔️ Patient – Login with unique ID & password to view and download their test reports.

✨ Key Features Covered:

Role-based login system (Admin, Collection Point, Patient)

Test management with parameters (WBC, RBC, etc. with normal ranges)

Patient registration and sample collection

Auto-generated receipt with patient login credentials

Test result entry by admin

Online patient portal to check/download reports (PDF)

Bootstrap UI for clean and responsive design

This project is perfect for pathology labs, diagnostic centers, and students learning PHP/MySQL projects.

Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) using PHP + MySQL + Bootstrap (clean UI) with 3 user roles:

Roles

Admin

Can login and manage tests.

Define a test (example: "Blood CP").

While defining a test, admin can add multiple parameters (like WBC, RBC, Platelets, etc.) with:

Parameter Name

Unit

Normal Range (e.g., 4.0 – 11.0 x10⁹/L for WBC)

Reference Notes

Can set test prices.

Can view all patients and their reports.

Can input test results after lab processing.

Collection Point User

Can login to their own dashboard.

Can register a new patient (fields: Name, Phone Number).

Can select one or more tests for the patient from the defined test list.

On saving patient data, the system should generate a receipt containing:

Patient ID

Login ID & Password (auto-generated, simple random code).

Test names & price.

Collection user can later view patients they added, check test status, and print reports after results are entered.

Patient

Can login with the given Login ID & Password from receipt.

Can view and download their reports in PDF.

Reports should display:

Patient Info

Test Name

Parameters with values, units, normal ranges

Doctor/Pathologist signature placeholder

System Flow

Admin creates tests and defines parameters with normal ranges.

Collection point registers a patient, selects tests, system generates receipt with login credentials.

Patient sample is collected → sent to lab.

Admin enters the test results for that patient’s sample.

Patient can log in to view/download their report.

Collection user can also print and hand over the report to patient.

Technical Notes

Use PHP (OOP preferred) + MySQL.

Use Bootstrap for responsive, clean UI.

Database tables suggestion:

users (id, name, role, username, password, etc.)

patients (id, name, phone, login_id, password, created_by)

tests (id, name, price)

test_parameters (id, test_id, name, unit, normal_min, normal_max, notes)

patient_tests (id, patient_id, test_id, status [pending, completed])

test_results (id, patient_test_id, parameter_id, value, entered_by, date)

Use simple role-based login (Admin, Collection, Patient).

Reports should be exportable as PDF (use libraries like TCPDF / dompdf).
