Alisvet Software Testimonials

"This is an unpaid letter of recommendation that I am writing because of my belief in the software, rather than for personal gain. I have been using AlisVet paperless computer record system since 1992 and am very pleased with it. I was very nervous and skeptical the first 2 weeks and kept duplicate computer and original client records. As the confidence level increased, I quickly dropped the hard copy records so many of us are used to and have never looked back. The company made converting from records to paperless completely painless. I have never regretted my decision. In fact, I was able to drop one full time receptionist and regain the front desk space occupied by a massive Ancom 4 drawer filing cabinet. Now, when a record is needed, any staff member can access it by typing in any of several criteria. No records are lost or misfiled. I can search for all Cushing’s cases, or all pets that had radiographs, or all hepatopathy cases, or all owners in a particular zip. The search capabilities are powerful. Although not a requirement of the program, I have a terminal in each exam room, one in the treatment area, one in our employee work area, and two at the front desk. Again, it isn’t required, but I use 1 front desk computer to check clients in, and a 2nd to check clients out—often occurring at the same time. During an exam, I am free to either type exam notes free-form using any format I choose, or I can use AlisVet’s extensive S.O.A.P. clickable exam shortcuts that pre-enter most of the usual notes. Unlike most software on the market, AlisVet’s notes can be pages long and do not have to conform with what will fit on one line. I can add groups of charges or individual charges without remembering codes. I can create an instant computer generated estimate for clients (complete with ranges for costs), or I can modify and convert a previously stored estimate to the client charges in a matter of seconds. This alone is a large practice builder that even clients appreciate. Clients feel that a terminal in the exam room is ‘state of the art’ and appreciate the technology. Receptionists love the built in appointment system in AlisVet and use it extensively. It has built-in inventory, control substance, radiology logs that make practice easier. Since AlisVet was written by, and is maintained by a veterinarian, it has many more features than I could possibly cover in a brief letter. However, I have used AlisVet at two A.A.H.A. Certified Hospitals for over 12 years and have been very pleased with it. I strongly recommend it to anyone considering computerization–most especially paperless records."

"Dear Howard, I wanted to let you know how much we have appreciated your help in making the transition to paperless medical records. The reason I went with AlisVet is because it was one of the few systems that was built around medical records with all the financial tracking branching off from those records. The records have always been the primary focus but we still get the financial information we need. We are a four veterinarian AAHA practice that has been in existence since 1975. We had well developed protocols in place to help us deal with the written record. I had many concerns about the transition to paperless. The staff, with proper training, has rapidly over the last year taken to the new system and we have slowly developed new protocols. We feel that we have only scratched the surface of the capability of AlisVet, and with time the program will become ever more powerful. Through the end of July ’06 our gross revenues are up $50,000 over the previous accounting period last year. This is only a modest increase, but a number that we can live with, considering that many of my associates in the area have seen decreasing revenue and client numbers this past year. I feel that the reason for our increase is directly related to the powerful reminder and recall systems built into this very powerful program and we have not even started to utilize the compliance capabilities of AlisVet. Tracking charges is much more efficient than the use of the paper flow sheet we used to use. I would also like to thank you for being extremely responsive to requests for change that we have made. I know it is impossible to please everyone but you have sure come close to meeting our expectations for change and service.Thank you."
