Expanded practice management software features streamlined automation

February 21, 2022

Invoicing tools, discharge instructions, and reminders are included in the expanded veterinary platform.

Shepherd Veterinary Software is expanding their practice management platform’s automation capabilities for a more streamlined service. According to Cindy Barnes, CVM, CVSMT, the company’s founder and a practicing veterinarian, the software’s automation tools will allow users to seamlessly move through their days with improved peace of mind that nothing will get missed.

“My primary goal in designing Shepherd was to create a [subjective objective assessment plan (SOAP)] that was so simple and efficient, it could be completed by the end of the appointment,” said Barnes, in a company press release. “Our development team's mantra is to reduce time-wasting redundancies by streamlining tasks such as invoicing, discharge instructions, and reminders.”

The company’s veterinary practice management software is designed to work the way vets work, with easy-to-use SOAP-based medical records and automation tools. Studies show veterinary practices lose as much as $60,000 in annual revenue per doctor due to missed charges for simple add-ons and procedures, according to the Shepherd release.

“Automating the invoicing process based on treatment and other actions in the medical record seemed like a no-brainer and an easy way to capture those missed charges.” Barnes added.

The platform’s streamlined invoicing tools are designed to pull treatment and dosage calculations directly from the medical record upon discharge, helping to ensure that all charges are collected. Discharge instructions automatically get prepared based on diagnosis and the treatment plan, including what medication to give the pet and how best to manage the recovery process. Based on procedures performed, reminders can be configured to automatically send emails to clients and follow-up tasks are generated automatically for the appropriate team members.

The streamlined automation of the practice management software can help ensure the best patient care and eliminates the need for a technician to take extra time to create follow-up tasks, according to Shepherd.
