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.
