After 10 years of using Impromed as a customer service representative, inventory manager, and Practice Manager I've used this software extensively as the base of all hospital operations from scheduling to inventory to internal communication. Once a person learns the basics of the software, most things become fairly intuitive.

Pros

The software is robust and heavily customizable. No other practice management software can be visually customized to see available resources at a glance.

Cons

The capabilities of the software do require learning which modules hold a particular function. Fortunately the search, index, and customer service are good at indicating where to find a particular feature.

Reasons for choosing Covetrus Impromed

Cost, support, and features. Ease of use after setup and continued customizability has made this software viable for us for the past 12 years.

Good older program - needs to be upgraded to be more efficient and time sensitive for the fast pace of veterinary operations

Pros

Medical Record transparency- ease of looking At monetary issues or past financial spending- the appointment scheduling was so easy

Cons

No upgrades- never had customer service when there were issues - we could go days of it not working correctly in our clinic with no call backs

Its a mediocre program. It gets the job done but could be way better.

Pros

It is a simple program, which is fine for our 4 doctor , 22 staff practice.

Cons

The screen is messy to look at, there are way too many ways to do the same thing, pulling reports is a mess. Not cloud based.

Overall easy to use and great to setup for your clinic the way you would like. Doctors can set so many different things up in their notes when using this program as well.

Pros

Impromed is a great PIMs system. There is so many ways you can set this system up. It is a geeks dream for being able to set up the way you and your staff will use this system.

Cons

The hardest thing the script labels you have to program and its not the easiest thing to do if you have never had to use programming keys.
