Overview of Laboratory Integrations

Practices cannot place referral orders directly through the integrated Provet workflow. All lab orders must be submitted to Nationwide Laboratories directly, outside of Provet.

As orders are placed externally, all results received via the integration will initially be classified as Orphan Results within Provet. Users must manually map these received results to their corresponding existing patient referral records. This is performed via the main laboratory dashboard in Provet (Dashboard > Laboratories > Orphan results).

The integration does not currently support automated updating of lab service prices. Practices are responsible for manually updating and maintaining their NWL price list within Provet whenever new price schedules are released by the provider.

When you take a sample and register it in Provet, you can select Solumo as the laboratory. The available tests and their current prices are fetched immediately and shown in Provet. Once you select the tests and create the referral, Provet sends the information to Solumo’s system via an API. You then print the required printout and send the physical sample to Solumo.

Once the pathologist processes the sample and records the results, the pathology statement is sent automatically back to Provet. The statement is then updated directly into the patient’s information.

If you request an additional statement later, Solumo will send the updated results, and Provet will update the patient record. Provet supports multiple documents, meaning previous versions of the statement are saved and can still be viewed.

The department where you plan to use the integration must be set to the USA market. If it is not, Ellie Diagnostics will not appear in the list of available providers.

The integration is activated by navigating to Provet Settings > General > Integrations > External laboratories .

You must contact Ellie Diagnostics directly to obtain your unique Clinic ID.

You will need to enter the Clinic ID and Account number to link your clinic's account.

A dedicated "VAT group" field is available in the external settings to set the appropriate VAT group for external laboratory items.

You have the option to set a Markup percentage for the lab items or use bracketed markup percentages.

You can choose to Enable automatic synchronization of laboratory items keep your test list updated.

To ensure lab tests from Ellie Diagnostics are visible in your Provet item catalog, you must check the box Allow editing external laboratory items within the External Laboratories settings.

Once the integration is set up, you create referrals as you normally would in Provet.

After creating the referral, the correct referral form, generated by the Laboratory Gateway, will appear as an external attachment on the referral page. This form is essential because it contains a barcode that Axiom/Finn uses to match the physical sample to the electronic referral. You must use this form. Do not use the general referral print button, as this will prevent the sample from being correctly matched.

Results are received directly from the laboratory into Provet.

Your clinic must contact ITSupport@axiomvetlab.co.uk to request the FTP Hostname, Username, and Password for the lab(s) you wish to integrate (Axiom, Finn, or both).

You will need to enter this FTP information into the integration settings for the correct lab (Axiom or Finn) in Provet.

You will also need to specify the margin percentage you wish to use for the Axiom/Finn tests.

For the account to activate and the tests to become available, Axiom/Finn must ensure that your designated FTP root folder contains a folder named "Out". If this folder is missing, the account will not activate.
