Description
To utilize our software in your practice, it is essential that you maintain an active subscription to our organization, as outlined in our software license. OpenVPMS operates as a non-profit entity, depending on the financial contributions of veterinary industry members to support the continual enhancement and development of our software. If you are part of the veterinary profession or the broader industry, you are granted the freedom to use our software, provided you hold a subscription with us. We also welcome feedback from our members regarding potential improvements they envision for our software's functionality, and we encourage contributions towards these enhancements, whether through general donations or specific project funding. OpenVPMS has the capability to generate documents that incorporate information from customers, patients, or products, which can be associated with products so that when an item is billed, a corresponding document is automatically archived in the patient’s history for reference. This integration not only streamlines the billing process but also ensures that all relevant information is easily accessible for future consultations.
Description
Aside from being founded by a practicing DVM, what sets Shepherd apart from the rest of the veterinary PiMS world is its design.
On the front end, Shepherd is built off of a traditional SOAP, which automatically builds an invoice as treatments are administered to a patient. In the words of our founder Cindy Barnes, DVM, what that means is, “If your record is accurate, so is your invoice.”
Shepherd also leverages backend automations to automatically discharge instructions and treatment notes as soon as they’re administered—meaning all client information will be created and ready by the time the patient is checked out.
On top of advanced backend functionality, we also offer integrations with leading labs. This allows users to easily order lab services from any open SOAP, and once those labs are ordered, they automatically sync inside the patient’s record.
You’ll also be able to seamlessly track and manage your inventory with our built-in inventory management tool. This allows you to see how much inventory is in your practice, as well as what inventory needs to be ordered (and even what you have too much of).
Shepherd is software for vets, by vets.
