New-and-Improved Infromation Search Capabilities

By Barbara Betsch

While knowledge is certainly the key to success, information over load can be the quickest way to get lost in useless data. Practice Management Consultant Bob Stevens says AVImark's information search capbility is "second to none." However, we've improved this useful tool even further to help you search and find just the right amount of useable data for your practice.

AVImark's enhanced Information Search feature came out earlier this year and is available in versions 2010.4 and higher. Our specific enhancements include:

  • An improved design that's segmented into three main areas: Search Criteria (filtering stage). Reporting Criteria (sorting stage), and Search Results (output stage)
  • Greater searching ability that allows you to search more areas within the veterinary software program, including the treatment list, estimate list, and appointment calendar. (Previously, these areas were not included in general searches.)
  • Easier output, so reported criteria can be organized by 'drag and drop."
  • Expanded exporting options that allow users to export using Excel and select the location where the CSV file should be saved.
  • Separate search window that can remain open at the same time as Client Information Display (CID).

If you've upgraded to one of the 2010 versions of AVImark, you've probably noticed these improvements already. If not, go ahead and try them out. You'll be able to sort and filter your information quickly into easy-to-read customized reports.

The enhaced information search is just one more reason why AVImark is the industry's leading veterinary software. We are committed to providing cutting-edge technology to help your practice thrive.
