How to Set Up The Doctors Laboratory (TDL)

This article covers how to enable the TDL integration in your account.

NOTE: The Doctors Laboratory (TDL) integration is available exclusively for clinics in the United Kingdom.



Step 1: Navigate to Setup

Start by logging in to your Pabau account using your login credentials. Then, navigate to the Setup page in the left sidebar menu. Under the Clinical section, you will find the Labs tab.

Step 2: Create Lab

On the Labs page, click on the "Create Lab" button at the top right corner of the page to get started.

You will need to fill out all the fields with The Doctor's Laboratory information. Click on the Create button in the top right corner to finalize the process. 

Step 3: Navigate to the Labs & Pharmacies Tab

In the Setup page under the Developer & Other section, you can find the Labs & Pharmacies tab.

Step 4: Switch to the Labs Tab

In the Labs & Pharmacies page, switch to the Labs tab to view the option to integrate TDL. Click on the blue "Setup now" button under The Doctors Laboratory to start the integration process.

You will be prompted to initially enter the Account ID provided by TDL. Additionally, you have the option to add a markup fee for lab requests, allowing you to set a percentage you'd like to charge.

After you click Save, you will be notified that the connection has been established.

This action will also automatically generate a Lab form called "Electronic TDL Tests Form" that you can use when creating a lab request.

To use the integration, you need to include the tests TDL provides in your Pabau account.

Depending if you want to include all tests that TDL provides in your Pabau account or selective tests, there are different steps you need to take.


 

Include All TDL Tests - Sync Products

If you wish to include all 1394 tests that The Doctors Laboratory provides, you can click the "Sync Products" button to sync all tests. 



You will receive a prompt if you want to confirm creating all 1394 tests. To finalize, click "Yes, I'm sure." This action will automatically create all tests as services in a new "TDL Tests" category.

Include Selective TDL Tests - Map Catalogue

If you want to include only specific tests in your account, you can select the "Map Catalogue" button to choose from the tests you wish to link to your Pabau account. 

Since steps one and two are completed as soon as you click "Setup now," you can continue to step three and link a service to a test.

You can search for the test from the search bar or scroll to find it.
 

Click "choose service" to link the test. Once you click Choose Service, you can search for the service you want to link.

NOTE: You need to have the services created in the system before you try to link TDL tests. 


A green checkmark will appear on the status once the test has been successfully linked with the service.

By following these steps, you can integrate TDL into your Pabau account successfully.
