IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. announced a cloud-based practice information management system (PIMS) called IDEXX Neo(TM) as part of their complete portfolio of PIMS offerings, which also includes Cornerstone(®) and DVMAX(®). IDEXX Neo is one of an array of IDEXX cloud-based solutions that allow veterinary practices to tap into the power, efficiency and cost effectiveness of cloud technology, bringing unprecedented software capabilities to the veterinary profession. IDEXX Neo improves the core work flows critical to managing a veterinary clinic or hospital: from appointments and invoicing, to medical record keeping, to diagnostic ordering and inventory management.

It is easy to use, affordable, and built to make data conversion and staff training simple, freeing veterinary professionals to focus on their most important work, caring for their patients. Because Neo is cloud-based, it unburdens the practice from the cost and hassle of purchasing and managing a computer server. Designed by a veterinarian, IDEXX Neo is simple and intuitive.

It offers one-click features for tasks, such as creating patient consults and accepting payment and guided training, built into the software so practice staff can get up to speed quickly. The cloud-based design enables veterinarians to access the software anytime, anywhere, from any device that connects to the Internet and reduces costs by eliminating the need for servers and IT staff. Yet, IDEXX Neo is built on highly secure industry standards, using 256-bit SSL encryption.

As part of the IDEXX ecosystem, IDEXX Neo offers seamless two-way integration with IDEXX Reference Laboratories and IDEXX in-house analyzers, powered by VetConnect(®) PLUS. This important time-saving benefit eliminates manual steps, ensures charge capture and enables practices to both order diagnostics and view the results from within the patient record.
