We dare to be different …
Animal Intelligence is unlike any other product
on the market. Why? We don’t rely on the competition for ideas – we listen
to our clients. AIS leads the industry in doctor-friendly software innovations.
Here are just a few examples of our innovations:
Medical Record Driven Invoicing
This concept is a “buzzword” in the industry,
and we created the “buzz.” We invented background invoicing, which is a
giant leap above selecting fees from the medical record. Our macro system
actually places charges on the invoice as you interact with the medical
record. For example:
| Medical Record |
Invoice |
Did you take radiographs?
Yes.
Which views?
Lat and DV |
Radiographs – Initial View, Qty 1
Radiographs – Additional, Qty 1
Radiograph Interpretation, Qty 1 |
These invoice entries were created by responding
“Yes” to one question and selecting “Lat and DV” from a list. Interactive
medical records allow you to communicate in English. New staff can almost
be trained by the computer! There is no need to remember particular fees
and codes. All responses can be tailored to the specific needs of your
practice!
Personalized Communications
One of the chief complaints about computer-generated
communications is they look like computer generated communications! We
want your clients and referring veterinarians to receive the “personal
touch.” That is why Animal Intelligence has more ways of communicating
concern – automatically – than any other software.
You can use over 250 unique variables in macros.
Each referring veterinarian can have a unique greeting. Clients can be
addressed by title, first or last name, even by gender! Use personal pronouns
for the client, patient or veterinarian.
Why settle for this:
Dear Doctor:
I examined “Mitzi” Anderson today. My examination revealed
lymphadenopathy. The bloodwork is normal. I discussed further workup with
the owner. The owner is going to call me later this week with a decision.
|
When you can have this:
Dear Nancy,
I examined Peter Anderson’s dog “Mitzi” today. My examination
of “Mitzi” revealed lymphadenopathy. Her bloodwork is normal. I discussed
further workup with Mr. Anderson. Peter is going to call me later this
week with his decision.

Sure, you can modify the first letter to look
like the second. But it takes time … your time, and it is easy to make
a mistake. Why not let the software do it for you?
Referral Integration
From the beginning, Animal Intelligence tracked
referring veterinarian and hospital information. It is an integral part
of the system, not an afterthought.
Assign primary and secondary referring veterinarians and hospitals to each
patient.
Track the number of referrals by hospital, veterinarian, geographical area
… almost anything!
Successfully track cases from veterinarians who move between hospitals.
Find patients and clients by referring veterinarian or hospital.
Easily generate reports identifying your best referring veterinarians.
Analyze the services used by referring clinics to verify they know about
the services you offer.
Identify referral trends by individual hospital and veterinarian.
Drug Calculations
Our interactive medical records are practical
in routine and emergency situations. Use macros to calculate everything
from fluid rates to emergency drug dosages. Imagine a complete cardiac
resuscitation drug protocol customized for the patient’s weight and your
dispensing units at the touch of a button! You can even design macros that
perform automatic calculations as you enter laboratory results, such as
percentages.
We provide you much more than a fixed template
– we provide you with the freedom to design just what you want, when you
want it.
Weights and Meters Squared Calculations
Animal Intelligence tracks successive patient
weight entries so you can spot trends. Unlike other systems, there is no
limit to the number of weights you can enter. You can type the weight as
pounds or kilograms and Animal Intelligence automatically calculates the
other and displays the meters squared calculation, too! All three of these
weights can be used in drug calculations.
Unlimited Phone Numbers
Your clients have so many contact numbers these
days: home, work, fax, mobile, spouse – not to mention temporary numbers
for immediate contact! Animal Intelligence allows you to store unlimited
phone numbers for every client, veterinarian and hospital. You can assign
each number a category such as “home” or “work” and even add comments such
as “call after 6pm.” You will never run out of storage again!
Custom Reporting
If you have used a practice management system
already, you know that each system comes with a set of standard reports.
Unfortunately, most of these reports are not designed for specialty practice.
We know that each specialty practice is unique, and you need reports that
fit your style.
We give you the best of both worlds. Animal Intelligence
processes reports through a central utility called the Report Generator.
Sure, you get all of the standard reports you expect, such as doctor production,
accounts receivable, mailing lists and more. But we provide you with something
others cannot offer – the ability to modify the standard reports and even
create your own! Here are a few examples:
Track doctor production by individual doctor, group, business and date
range.
Create followup letters and envelopes for all dogs with osteosarcoma.
Print a phone number list for all referring veterinarians in alphabetical
order.
Analyze referral distribution by zip code or city.
Find out which hospitals refer certain types of cases.
Print serial CBC results for all Golden Retreivers over 5 years of age.
Treatment Processing
Your technicians spend a great deal of time performing
treatments. Recording treatment information and making sure charges get
on the invoice is cumbersome. We make it easier. Imagine having an electronic
assistant that is always one step ahead of you – simply select the type
of treatment, and the assistant makes sure the proper information is recorded
and charges are placed on the invoice!

the number of mls per hour based upon your rate. All associated fees are
placed on the invoice – automatically.
