DataPoint Integration
We’re here to assist you with integrating your practice information management system (PIMS). This is an important step and we need your help to complete the process.
Steps for integration
Setup
- Our onboarding team will add you to IDEXX DataPoint’s integration request queue within 1 business day of the email.
- You’ll receive an email from Vetsource confirming you’ve been added to the queue.
- Your practice’s primary contact person (listed in the email in step 1) will receive an email from IDEXX DataPoint (from: [email protected]) within 48 hours. Remember to check your junk or spam folders if it does not appear in your inbox.
- The primary contact will be asked to provide information about your practice, designate a technical contact person (the person who will work with DataPoint to install the agent), and agree to DataPoint’s End-User-License-Agreement (EULA).
- Within 24 hours of completing this form and EULA request, DataPoint will contact your designated technical contact person to install the software.
- You’ll receive a final confirmation email from Vetsource when we begin receiving data.
Note: DataPoint cannot connect or reconnect to your server without assistance from the technical contact person.

After installation
- A copy of your client and patient list will appear in your Vetsource Prescription Management database approximately 1 week after the initial installation. Large databases (10,000+ clients) can take up to 2 weeks.
- If you already have home delivery clients in your database, our system will automatically merge matching records.
- New client and patient updates are copied over every 48 to 72 hours.
Automatic updates
When your database is integrated for the first time, the following client and patient information is copied into the Prescription Management database:
- Client name, address, phone number, and email
- Pet name, age, weight, and breed
Integration will only continuously update the following information in the Prescription Management database:
- Complete information for any new client or patient
- Pet weight change
- Deceased status changes
- Client email address
Manual updates
Some updates are not automatic and require your input, including changes to a client’s name, address, and pet name.
- Client name or address changes: Changes in your records do not necessarily reflect your clients’ preferences for receiving mail. Automatic updates to our system could cause shipping delays if the client has not updated their shipping address with the post office. Please confirm shipping names and addresses prior to submitting an order in ScriptRight. Your clients can also update their information by logging into their account or contacting our Pet Owner Care team at (877) 738-4443.
- Pet name changes: To comply with federal pharmacy regulations, name changes must be performed manually by a staff member to provide a record that the pet is the same individual. If the pet has existing prescriptions, a new prescription must be written/entered under the new name.
Note: There is no deadline to complete the integration process. You can use (or continue using) your home delivery program before integration is complete.
