Pros

“Too many steps, parallel processes that don't overlap; tiny buttons you need to click her and there, but sometimes - not the buttons, the text, different colours.....”

Anthony Z.

Oncology Clinician

“Inventory tracking has improved tremendously with the ability to track inventory in the hospital and all truck locations.”

Ginger R.

Veterinarian

“No, but it definitely makes us more efficient & we are better set up to capture charges accurately by creating templates for all of our therapeutics, procedures & surgeries.”

Belle L.

Veterinary Practice Manager

Pros

“Reminders typical as other PIms but no remind if never done.and it likes to double remind lab work (CBC/chem gets 2 reminders). ”

Dr. D.

Veterinarian

“The automated features (tasks like callbacks, forms to send to clients when booking online, discharges, approving estimates and pushing to the treatment and invoice) improves efficiency for the whole team as well as communication with clients.”

Sam F.

Owner, veterinarian

“From the time of the demo meeting to the actual setting up the program, every person has been an absolute pleasure and was a mostly "seamless" transition from paper to paperless/paper light.”

Elena B.

Veterinarian

Cons

“Part of this is because my hospital never provided any sort of training or standardized sop for use -there may be more efficient ways to use- but if you are a relief person or new user trying to navigate it without any instruction or I guess if it hasn't been customized for the practice flow, it is a nightmare.”

Margaret V.

Associate veterinarian

“My hospital also has an excessive list of bloodwork options, most of which are rarely used, making it EXTREMELY cumbersome to find the right labwork for a patient at a reasonable price.”

Margaret V.

Associate veterinarian

“It is hard to scroll through a patient's record if you are not on the right tabs.”

Margaret V.

Associate veterinarian

Cons

“Software is completely not customizable, if u want to record any objective or physical exam findings you must use a physical exam form, not AI. ”

Dr. D.

Veterinarian

“No simple test results option, must manually enter (type Felv test negative)”

Dr. D.

Veterinarian

“Inventory management, updates chronically cause problems with the functionality of Shepherd, system goes down regularly lately, support can be tricky”

Amber G.

Manager
