Types of veterinary software programs

This is a sheet for setting the types of veterinary software programs against each other, the arithmetic a practice does on the back of a quote the night before it has to decide. Broadly there are four kinds on offer: the practice information management system that holds clients, patients, the book, notes, stock and invoicing together; standalone clinical record products; communication and reminder tools; and point tools for one job. Whichever kinds are on your shortlist, the same arithmetic decides between them. Vets plus other staff is the seats every per-seat price gets multiplied by; seats times the quoted price is the monthly subscription; the migration quote plus the training days at your own day rate is what switching costs before a single month is paid; add them and you have year one and the whole term, and dividing the term figure by the months and the vets gives the one number that is comparable across every system on the list. Every figure is yours, including the per-seat price: this site publishes no vendor's price and ranks no system. Free, on the page, no account; the paid plan keeps the comparison against the practice so next year's review starts from this year's figures.
