Goals Identify the various types of veterinary software programs that are available. Explain the use and benefits of veterinary software programs in practice. Report the pros and cons of different programs. Categorize and examine the features of various programs. Evaluate your research to determine which programs may provide the best service in a veterinary practice. Many veterinary clinics and hospitals rely heavily on computers for day-to-day operations. Computer software companies are constantly developing and upgrading programs for use in veterinary medicine. Imagine you’re the head veterinary technician working in a multidoctor veterinary practice. The practice owner is considering upgrading his or her outdated invoicing software and paper medical records, wanting to replace them with veterinary management software that can perform a wide variety of management functions. The practice owner wants each member of the veterinary team to gather information on two different brands of veterinary management software. Each team member will compile his or her information into a written report, which will be given to the practice owner and practice manager to help them make their decision. As the head technician, you’re given the first choice on which software brands to research. Select two different brands of veterinary management software.
