Remote Access to PACS, RaptorMed, Q-Pulse, Vetstar, SANDI, Instinct

Please use the instructions below to download the remote connection link to your personal laptop for PACS (Imaging System), Vetstar (Health Info Systems), RaptorMed (Wildlife), Q-Pulse (VDL QA) or Instinct Treatment Plan. Staff normally have these programs already fully installed on their University computer. The instructions below can be used to run the program as a RemoteApps if working on a computer without the program installed. For example if working remotely or a personal (non-university) computer.

Ensure you are connected to the internet. If you are on campus, you should connect to IllinoisNet.

Download Instructions (Windows and MacOS)

The apps most commonly needed by students, interns and residents have been upgraded to web applications and no longer require the RDP setup (see section below the table). 

  • For the web apps, the table below has a link to the website (URL) which you can bookmark in your browser or add as a desktop bookmark shortcut. 
  • For apps that require the RDP function, you will follow the additional Remote Desktop instructions below after you download the file.  We recommend you save these downloads to your desktop to make setup easier.  For Macs, do not try to launch the file until after Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 is installed.

Note 1:  When in the classroom a VPN will not be required.  When not physically on the Vet Med campus a VPN will be required:  VPN instructions.

Note 2:  This RDP takes users to the telnet login screen for VADDS users and administrators, but can also be used by Vetstar administrators.

Note 3:  SANDI is the new web-based version of Vetstar. It is a web shortcut rather than a file download, so users should bookmark or add as a desktop shortcut. Chrome is the recommend browser.  Per Note 1, a VPN is required if offsite.

Note 4: Students are encouraged to use the web version on their personal computers as it is more convenient:  http://imaging.vetmed.illinois.edu/.  Students that are interested may access the full software version seen on computers around the clinic through this RDP file:  PACS  This RDP app will prompt you for your credentials twice (once for the remote connection and once for the application login itself).     
Note 5:  The first time you login you will see "Instinct needs to authenticate your practice".  Select Start Auto Log In and then enter your PIN.
