🔍 Step 1: Important Information to Know Before You Get Started

  • Please make sure to open the integration guide and follow these instructions on the x-ray computer.

  • You will not be able to complete the integration or sync previously taken x-rays if you are not on the x-ray computer.

  • Make sure you are using a Chrome browser, as that is the only browser that ChiroHD supports.

  • This guide will allow you to auto sync x-rays directly into ChiroHD from this point forward after the integration is complete.

If You Want Previously Taken X-rays to Sync:

  1. Open the patient's exam on the x-ray computer

  2. Update the patient ID to match their ChiroHD patient ID

  3. Click through each image in the exam

  4. Close out of the exam to save

This integration requires that you use the ChiroHD Patient ID as the ID in Opal (20/20 Imaging). If not set correctly, they will not be synced correctly.
