Overall, HVMS seems like a pretty good program even though it does have some glitches.

Our business runs effectively each day.

Functionality

Pros:

The fact that it can be equine specific is a plus. There are many different options and features that are good as well.

Cons:

The worksheets. We have to wait so long for help to get them customized and then the process to do so is tedious. There are also so many options that the program isn't super user friendly and can almost be too technical at times. We have also had problems with linking credit card processing systems as well.

Functionality

Pros:

Daily operations are generally pretty easy, entering new patients, patient history notes, invoicing etc is straightforward. Ability to make sales plans under one general code. 30-minute schedule easy to read and show multiple users schedule at once.

Cons:

Difficulty customizing reports and extracting/exporting data. Length of response time with new ticketing customer service methods. "KNOWN" bugs/glitches that continue to go without being fixed.

Functionality

Pros:

the hospital template and treatment plan makes it very easy to get all horses treated and the billing done in one step.

Cons:

The remote servers sometimes is down and then we can not use the treatment plan. I also tried to get a repro module done a couple years ago and was told it was in the works and would be ready soon and then I gave up after several months and no progress. Some of the billing codes seem to have redundant mouse clicks that take 3 or 4 clicks when it could be 1

Overall user friendly with good support, easy to access patient and client info, some glitches.

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Scheduling multiple doctors. The view of the schedule and ability to modify appointments easily is helpful, especially during very busy times. Allowing us to be able to personalize events is beneficial on keeping the doctors organized and efficient.

Cons:

Reports. Not easily readable, typically confusing, or not the information we are looking for. The names of reports are not always indicative of the information that will be given. It typically takes several attempts to find the right report and select the correct filters to get to the information needed.

Not compatible with Small Animal Practice

Good overall experience but the software just didn't suit our needs anymore once we opened the small animal side of our business.

The early learning curve for full use (management) is quite steep.

Good financial reporting. Reliable tablet version.

Functionality

Pros:

Good variety of financial reports available. Reasonably good inventory control. Reliable tablet version with easy synchronization.

Cons:

This is probably our weakness as much as anything, but the worksheets have not been easy to modify. The amount of time needed to customize the software is significant. One of my other concerns is that from a medical-legal standpoint, the records are not unalterable. Previous records can be altered without any indication of an alteration.

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The whiteboard and facility map, the integration of inventory, scheduling etc. The integration with lab results (for those systems that work).

Cons:

It is very prone to bugs and errors and cannot do a number of simple things that I think it should be able to do. Everything related to invoicing and reporting is a complete headache and clients don't like the format of invoices. Compensation is also overly complex and we never know if people are really getting compensated as they should.

Pros:

everything in one place. not cloud based so works even without cell service. has the option for in house treatments as well as field cases.

Cons:

lots of bugs, rarely fixed (more often they just give a weird workaround). expensive so expecting a top notch product and don't always feel like those top notch promises come to fruition. a bunch of small things that don't work like unable to take pictures off system to make online health certs and they still haven't been changed
