In healthcare, diagnostic rest requests identify and monitor patient conditions. The process is of significant importance in moving different stages such as submitting requests for different tests, verifying and ensuring that correct information is provided, and coordinating with laboratories or diagnostic centers. If this process is handled efficiently patients will have timely treatments, quicker diagnosis, and enhanced patient satisfaction. 

The traditional model involves submitting diagnostic test requests manually by filling out forms and coordinating with multiple departments to verify the credibility of the information provided. It takes days and sometimes weeks to get the approvals and therefore the manual approach is time-consuming and prone to human errors. Miscommunication or incomplete information complicates the process affecting the overall operational efficiency. 

Therefore, automating the diagnostic test requests can effectively address the challenges of the traditional model as it streamlines the workflows and ensures accurate submissions are made on time. Automated systems also minimize human intervention as they automatically handle the verification of test requests, cross-check patient information, and route the requests to appropriate diagnostic centers with predefined workflows. This accelerates the process enhances efficiency and reduces delays and inconsistencies.
