What makes Bacteriology different in a separate tab than a template?

Hi,

We wanted to set up bacteriology tab in clinical module. We were wondering why this is a separate tab and not a template. A possible reason we could think of for a separate bacteriology tab could be access rights. A separate tab can give specific access to lab technician. Are there more reasons that makes the bacteriology TAB different than a Template?

We also felt that the tab is slightly rigid, does not allow much changes compared to a template.

Looking forward to get opinion.

Thanks, Sushil
