Getting Started with IDEXX Web PACS Integration

This article introduces the IDEXX Web PACS integration and outlines key steps to help your team connect imaging systems with Shepherd.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

The goal is to ensure your captured images make their way into Shepherd, linked to the correct patient and SOAP.

Instead of a strict step-by-step process, consider the integration setup as a set of flexible checkpoints. It's normal to switch between systems as you go.

What You’ll Need

To complete your setup, you'll want to gather or generate:

  • IDEXX Web PACS User ID & Password

  • A Location Token from Web PACS

  • The AE Title, IP Address, and Port for the Web PACS server (used by your imaging system)

  • Your Capture Station’s AE Title, Modality Type, and Institution Name

You’ll also want to have access to both:

  • Shepherd (Admin > Integrations > IDEXX PACS Integration)

  • Your Web PACS account and capture station settings

Once you have the pieces above, you’re ready to:

  • Add IDEXX Web PACS as a destination in your capture software

  • Register Shepherd in Web PACS and copy over credentials

  • Connect your location and modality to match what’s used in Shepherd

  • Test an image to verify it reaches Shepherd correctly

If you're not sure whether something was completed correctly, that’s okay. The integration is flexible, and you can revisit any part to make adjustments as needed.


FAQs

Is VetMed Stat included in this integration?

Yes, since VetMedStat is part of Web PACS, you can create a Telemedicine Case, submit images, and receive the consult report in Web PACS.

Does IDEXX PACS integrate with Midmark Progeny?

Yes, as long as Midmark Progeny is running version 1.2 or higher. If you have an older version, Midmark offers free upgrades.

How does IDEXX Telemedicine work with this integration?
