1. Cornerstone Electronic Whiteboard
Take a step towards paperless medical records with the Cornerstone Electronic Whiteboard. This new feature lets you order, track and record patient treatments by staff member. The color-coded grid makes it easy for staff to see the status of patients’ treatments. The software automatically bills clients based on services provided. In addition, the detailed care information becomes part of the patient’s permanent medical record.
The Electronic Whiteboard comes ready to use with standard categories, frequencies
and patient hospital statuses. Schedule orders for patients using the invoice items that are already set up at your practice.
See when treatments are scheduled and record when treatments are provided.
2. Custom Client and Patient Report Builder
Custom Client and Patient Report Builder allows you to create your own reports. Narrow the scope of your report based on selected criteria (for example, client sales, postal codes and patients’ species). Name and save your custom report for future use. The report itself can be printed or you can print mailing labels based on the report or save it as a file.
Use the "What Report Do I Run?" feature to locate the report you want to run, based on the type of information you need. This feature provides a quick, easy way to print some of your frequently used Cornerstone reports.
Design your report to include the specific information you need.
3. Physical Exam Feature
Cornerstone’s Physical Exam feature gives staff a quick and easy way to record observations and comments while examining a patient. When the exam is complete,
you can print a Pet Health Report Card to send home with the client. A record of the physical exam is stored in the patient’s history.
To help you get started, standard body system templates and observations come with the software. You can customize the Physical Exam by adding your own templates and observations.
4. IDEXX SmartLink™ Technology
This new version uses IDEXX SmartLink technology to integrate several instruments
and services like never before. Lab requests from Cornerstone’s request queue are transmitted to the IDEXX VetLab® Station automatically and results are then captured directly in Cornerstone. The complete circuit of data flow simplifies tasks and saves steps, ultimately leading to a more efficient and streamlined practice.
Cornerstone now accommodates the SmartLink complete circuit data flow for SNAP® tests, the IDEXX VetLab® UA™ Analyzer and the IDEXX VetStat® Electrolyte
and Blood Gas Analyzer. In addition, a new Diagnostic Health Profile (DHP) and a new nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) monitoring panel are also available.
