Covetrus Releases Signature Enhancements to its Industry-Leading AVImark Practice Management Software for Veterinary Practices
Enhancements Offer New Integration Capabilities While Providing
Seamless User Experience and Workflow
PORTLAND, Maine–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Covetrus
(NASDAQ: CVET), a global leader in animal-health technology and
services, announced today the release of signature product enhancements
to its AVImark practice management software, including new functionality
that streamlines common veterinary practice administrative tasks and
drives greater coordination between the medical record and Covetrus’
prescription management technology.
These AVImark enhancements represent one of the many planned innovation
investments across our technology assets that are scheduled to go-live
in 2019 as Covetrus looks to improve workflow, create time savings for
caregivers and staff, simplify practice operations and enhance clinical
and financial health for our growing customer base.
“The growing complexity of managing a small business in an evolving
veterinary landscape is increasing the burden on the veterinarian and
their team of professionals,” said Chris Dollar, senior vice president
and president, Global Software Services. “Our increased investment in
practice management software for 2019 demonstrates our commitment to our
customers as we look to not only deliver a better user-experience but to
also launch next-generation functionality and workflow improvements to
help these practices deliver quality patient care.”
Some of the new AVImark enhancements and features include:
| • |
Medical record quick copy forward: This allows practitioners to quickly copy and add new notes on a patient’s condition, significantly reducing the amount of time spent on medical record note taking. |
| • |
Prescription management coordination: Prescriptions filled by the Covetrus prescription management technology flow directly to the patient’s medical record, bringing a complete view of a patient’s medication history inside AVImark. By pairing AVImark with the Covetrus prescription management technology, practices can bring compliance to a whole new level. |
| • |
Quick indicators: New indicators help with quick determinations of statuses to simplify AVImark customers’ work. Wellness plan indicators allow staff members to see patients on wellness plans. Estimates that have been approved now have a clear locked indicator from the main screen to ensure staff members know which estimate has currently been accepted by the pet owner. Practitioners can save time by getting a list of their open medical records through an information search. |
These AVImark upgrades come on the heels of new integrations and
innovations launched by other Covetrus practice management solutions in
the second quarter of 2019, including Covetrus prescription and
inventory management integration for eVetPractice, multiple performance
improvements that enhance speed to launch for ImproMed software
customers, and significant new features for RxWorks internationally.
Covetrus Global Software Services will showcase these and other future
innovations at VetSummit 2019: October 9-11 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
