Panacea

Veterinary clinics that want cloud-based practice management and clinical records can use Panacea, which works in any web browser wherever there is an internet connection, so a clinic does not need to install and maintain software on its own servers. The company describes its purpose as helping vets build more successful practices.

Practice management in the cloud

The system covers the running of a clinic: client records, patient records, stock, staff and the clinical history of each animal. Templates are used to automate routine tasks, so that a practice can do the same work with fewer steps and fewer errors. The company says the software is simple to use but holds a wide range of features, from scheduling through to clinical records.

Online bookings that land in the clinic schedule

The most distinctive feature is online booking. Clients can book appointments through the clinic's website or through its Facebook page, and each booking is placed directly in the clinic's schedule in real time. Bookings respect the availability of each vet and each consult room, and the clinic decides which staff members and times are open for online booking.

Setting up in minutes

The company says a clinic can be set up and configured in less than ten minutes, and that online booking is included at no extra charge in every version of the product. Prospective users can try the booking system on a demonstration account, which creates a real appointment in the demonstration schedule.

Support, data protection and scale

Data is backed up and stored in secure data centres, and the company provides support at all hours, on every day of the week. The product is said to suit a clinic of any size, from a single practice to a group of one hundred sites.
