Avaliações do Cornerstone Software

Best Veterinary Software hands down.
Comentários: Cornerstone is very user friendly and well-organized. I have been using this soft ware for the past 7 years and have loved it more than the other two softwares I used at other clinics before this. There are so many easy to learn shortcuts that make daily medical record keeping easier. I
Vantagens:
My favorite feature is the integration between their labwork machines and outside Idexx labs straight into patient files.
Desvantagens:
There are a few features that require a right click and drop down menu that I feel would be better set to just a double click. My complaints are few!
Great program, need better customer service
Comentários: We have been a CS client since 1999 and while we love it, we have hated it at times. The system itself is great, customer service can be lacking. It has so many wonderful features but until recently they were like easter eggs and you had to find them and teach yourself how to use them. It is a great program with lots of functionality to improve daily workflow.
Vantagens:
Very robust system that can really help work flow if you use all of its features.
Desvantagens:
While it is a robust system, Idexx doesn't do a great job at showing you all of their features and training how to use them. Especially for existing clients.
Cornerstone; easy to integrate, but cannot be used alone.
Comentários: Fairly neutral; not the worst software that the practice has ever used, but difficult to learn at first, and cannot be used for all in-hospital needs, auxiliary programs are needed for treatment sheets and imaging files.
Vantagens:
Able to be integrated with other clinic software such as Instinct. Easily navigable patient records and labwork results.
Desvantagens:
Very confusing keystroke functions, very specific methods needed to input labwork, can only open 4 patient clipboards at a time, must manually transfer (via copy/paste) patients between department schedules.
CornerStone
Comentários: Awful from the price to the product. I wouldn't recommend this product for anyone.
Vantagens:
Nothing. I find this software archaic and out of date. I do not find any features useful with this product
Desvantagens:
The reports. There is no way to specify the dates you would like to run reports for. This is a huge problem when it comes time for accounting to be done.
Great Diagnostic tool/great support options
Comentários: Used daily and for many different reasons, great diagnostic tool with fast reporting
Vantagens:
Integrates seamlessly with PIMS, great support system, many different labwork options
Desvantagens:
System seems to go down occasionally and needs to be reset
Cornerstone Review
Comentários: Once you get the hang of cornerstone, it is easy. It is a outdated slower software program.
Vantagens:
I loved that it directly integrates with IDEXX diagnostic tools and lab services, streamlining lab test submissions and results retrieval.
Desvantagens:
Slow performance, especially during peak usage hours. Less user friendly.
Cornerstone is terrible, avoid at all costs
Comentários: Terrible. It does not communicate with our lab machines, it does not communicate with our ICU treatment software, I waste literal hours staring at it waiting for it to load just so I can enter charges.
Vantagens:
Nothing. It is honestly difficult to think of one good thing to say about Cornerstone. Nothing is intuitive, nothing is user friendly, everything seems to be designed to make it as difficult as humanly possible.
Desvantagens:
Everything. I genuinely hate everything about it, although if I had to pick my top one, I suppose it would be how intolerably slow it is. Everytime I click on anything, or open a new window, it freezes for a period of time ranging from 5 seconds to 5 minutes depending on the day.
Visually appealing, great reports
Comentários: Worked as interim HM at clinic that had cornerstone, took awhile to learn even basic thinga within system. Hard to schedule training
Vantagens:
Visually appealing, robust reporting system makes figuring out doctor production easier
Desvantagens:
Doesnt allow corporate to access reports, have to physically send of month reports which adds time to month end
Cornerstone is a must have
Comentários: My overall experience with Cornerstone has been nothing but exceptional, from customer service to technical support and everything in between!
Vantagens:
Cornerstone is very easy to work with compared to other veterinary software databases.
Desvantagens:
Sometimes there are glitches and software will freeze.
Cornersrone use in ER Vet Specialty Setting
Comentários: Overall cornerstone is basically all I've ever known so I give it at 7 and a half out of 10
Vantagens:
Cornerstone manager's patient files quite well it's easy to find as long as you learn the KEY strokes the program Needs you to learn in order to make the use of it easier
Desvantagens:
Having to attach records from another hospital and how they're presented and how you have to access them is kind of difficult but it's manageable once you get used to the program
Easy to learn but can be slow
Vantagens:
The ease of use was very nice! It was easy for new members to catch on and learn.
Desvantagens:
The software was often very slow and lagged for us.
HRAR cornerstone
Vantagens:
Integrated with our online pharmacy. Relatively easy to learn
Desvantagens:
Have to "buy a seat" with each additional computer, expensive. More expensive than Avimark. Cannot have alerts that [sensitive content hidden] cannot see. Glitches
There are no good options
Comentários:
Communicating with clients is next to impossible. The physical exam form/function has been abandoned by Cornerstone. There simply is no physical exam form/function in the "practice management" software. There are "Breed Information sheets" available for clients but no useful forms to run the hospital. Those I am expected to generate myself -which I have tried doing and dedicate several hours every Monday to this task. With multiple calls to Cornerstone Help to design these templates for Physical exam, Surgery forms, Inpatient/Hospitalized patient SOAPS, etc, I have successfully created zero documents. I spent my entire NAVC conference a few years ago focusing on Idexx software/paperless practice sessions,
I have solicited Idexx's (Carla, I believe is the "paperless/paper lite" person) help at TNAVC (now VMX) every other year when I attend; 4 years in, after upgrading our computer system, converting everything over to Idexx Labs to facilitate integration with PM software, attending multiple Cornerstone User workshops etc, I am more convinced than ever that Cornerstone Cannot be used PROPERLY in a paperless practice.
I have visited several "paperless" practices in the area, and it can be done only if I simply give all patients the same cut-and-paste physical exam notes. Paperless? Yes. Accurate and efficient? Hardly. There is simply no place in the "record" where I can simply look back and see what went on with the last exam(s).
Very disappointed on many fronts
Vantagens:
Familiarity - have been using Cornerstone since 2000 (Y2K scare regarding the old PSI system). Used PSI for 6 years prior to that
Desvantagens:
It is not designed for paperless practice. There are no easy ways to perform simple tasks. Every routine task (physical exam, writing/sending a prescription, you know those odd things that medical practices seldom have need to do) requires a "work around" which only a few select people on the Cornerstone help line can figure. Most calls are met with, "well that just can't be done with this system" or "no-one has asked that before, I will refer it to our developers and maybe it can be included on the next update".

Hi Mark, really sorry to hear about your experience and thank you for the detailed feedback. We've had a lot of practices use Cornerstone to go paperless and we'd like you to be successful there too. Just after you wrote this review you had a live training session with a Cornerstone Field Service Representative. Sounds like that went well, hope a solution is in the works!
Cornerstone vs. DVM Manager
Comentários: I really miss my old detailed reports. What used to take just couple of clicks has now turned into a long process to get the same information. The amount of time saved during close out is completely lost at the end of the month with printing individual invoices for collection accounts and my monthly in house use invoices. It's really strange that this report isn't one that would be an option for reports.
Vantagens:
Closing out can be done while the program is being used and reports printed at any time. Our previous program would not allow any input of information during the close out procedures which limits the close out times to after hours or keeping everyone off the program while it was closing. Reports had to be printed at that time and you could only print them once which was also difficult if there was a problem with the printer. Cornerstone allows us to check in on reports throughout the day without closing out as well.
Desvantagens:
Printing out a detailed (itemized) monthly report of all items used in house is time consuming and tedious. We can get a list of all the invoices for the month but not a detailed one. Each individual invoice is then printed to gain this information. This results in multiple pages each with a few items on each. Our previous program you only had to select the account, reports, transactions and it would print an itemized report with all charges to the account. When asked the reps that taught us the program as well as calling the company on the phone, this was the only way to find out all the itemized charges on any account. This also makes closing out an account for collection difficult as each individual invoice needs to be printed out to itemize the account. Very long and tedious as well as a huge amount of paper used to get what used to be one simple report.

Hi Gail, thanks for the analysis of Cornerstone vs DVM Manager, nice to see how we stack up. We hear you on the value of a detailed report on monthly items, and there actually is one called the Treatment Report. It's under Equine but can be used for other patients. This would let you run the report by client ID and would give you all invoices and details. Hope this saves you some time!
Prior Avimark User now using Cornerstone
Comentários:
Cornerstone is a powerful program that does many things almost everything needed for a veterinary practice. We were prior Avimark user for about 15 years since the start of windows version. Avimark is the most user friendly program I have ever used but it is limited as of a year or so ago to support true paperless use and our database out grew their ability to handle. They also had a whiteboard that was not practical or user friendly so we switched to Cornerstone. This program does handle large databases and does support paperless practice and works very well with integration of all their lab equipment, radiology and telemedicine. Because it is robust it is more complicated to master and there are so many things the program does it is difficult even for trainers and support staff to understand how do all the things paperless fully integrated practices need. It is not as user friendly and many things that are needed by paperless practices are not doable in the program. A simple need is in diagnosis listing - there is no way to describe anything about the diagnosis for example - Diagnosis of Limping - there is no way to go in and add a descriptor like left front or right rear - only Limping. Or if you diagnosed a mass - but no way of describing the location so you are left with reading through the exam to find out where the lump is. There are not many tabs on the patient records to sort the medical history to make finding inputs faster. But it has a Fantastic white board. The whiteboard that is fairly easy to use and does everything we needed. This was huge for our hospital and is badly needed in a paperless larger hospital.
Unfortunately few practices use PM software to the maximum like we do, the problems we find or deficiencies that we find in the software from all these companies we have a small voice. But overall I think for a busy practice that wants a paperless practice and a excellent whiteboard feature and full integration of results with lab equipment and radiology results Cornerstone is the best.
Vantagens:
Whiteboard and paperless capabilities and lab integration
Desvantagens:
Stupid little things like cannot add descriptors to Diagnosis, lack of tabs to sort medical history

Hi Steve, really appreciate your detailed feedback. Always good to get the specifics on where we're hitting the mark, and where a user such as yourself sees room for improvement!
Solid product
Comentários: Cornerstone support is amazing. Easy to use and they will work with you to figure out what is going wrong. They are open to ideas for updates or changes.
Vantagens:
You can have multiple levels of administrative rights and pick and choose who can have access to certain reports. Adding pets and charges are easy. Multiple people can be in the same account at the same time but only one can be putting on charges.
Desvantagens:
It is great in simplicity of the design but It is easy to overwrite a line and miss charges. Have to click yes 3 times to print an invoice but you can delete something easily without warning. If one computer crashes in the middle of putting on charges you can't access it from another computer, you need to wait until that computer is back up and running.

Hi Jannie, thanks for sharing your feedback on Cornerstone. Really appreciate the high ratings for support and value for money, and glad to hear that the ability to set admin rights by role and reporting work well for you and your team!
Cornerstone
Comentários: Overall, my experience is positive. We were able to go paperless with Cornerstone, and I was one of the veterinarians that helped facilitate that. My current practice had paper charts when I started with them, and only used Cornerstone for billing and surgical notes, but I had worked at other practices with computerized medical notes, and understood the benefits.
Vantagens:
I like how it was easy to learn to use. I'm not especially computer savvy, but I didn't have a problem learning the essentials I needed for daily use. I especially like the medical notes, and if I remember correctly, our practice was able to customize them. Internal communication within the system with messages that are time-stamped and linked to the medical notes are helpful.
Desvantagens:
In the specialized exams (dermatology and ophthalmology specifically), I've had problems with the screen freezing during medical note input, after I try to save any drawings made on the diagrams themselves. I've lost my entire medical note (everything input prior to trying to save the markings on the medical diagrams). We've contacted the company about it, but last I knew, we were unable to correct the problem. I've leaned to work around it by typing in my entire medical note and SAVING it first. Then filling out the medical diagram. When I go to save the diagram, it always freezes the screen, and I have to exit out and do the diagram again, but at least I don't lose my entire medical note prior if I save it all first.

Hello Dr. Wise, good to hear you find Cornerstone easy to use and customize! Sorry that you're experiencing that freezing issue. If you haven't already, please call Customer and Technical Support and ask them to remote in to your computer while you perform this task to see if they can isolate the issue. Yay you for spearheading your practice's transition to going paperless. We can't get enough of customer success stories like yours!
Cornerstone is one of the best!
Comentários: Pretty good, but I don't think the switch from Avimark was worth the money and hassle.
Vantagens:
Cornerstone is very user friendly and easy for new employees onboarding.
Desvantagens:
Inventory was not the solution to the problem we had with Avimark, but there is no perfect solution to a human problem! Also the reporting portion is lacking compared to Avimark. You can not mark inventory items "canine" or "feline" to ensure the correct item is being sold to the correct species.
Overall A Great Program
Comentários: This is a great program that we've utilized for 20 years. Would love to see some improvements, but overall happy with it!
Vantagens:
The program is user friendly and our new staff have little to no trouble navigating things. We enjoy how many third party companies we are starting to use are also integrated with Cornerstone.
Desvantagens:
One of the main downfalls of Cornerstone is that there is not a file or tab for client paperwork such as registration forms, etc. Currently the only way to do this would be to create an additional pet file within the client account and store attachments there. The pet file will show up on third party apps though, such as PetDesk and it confuses our clients.

Hi Keala, thank you very much for the compliments and your willingness to recommend Cornerstone to colleagues! Glad to hear that your team is able to get up and running quickly on Cornerstone. Giving you the flexibility to extend Cornerstone's capabilities by integrating with leading apps and services is a top priority of ours! As is improving Cornerstone itself. Version 9.2 is coming out summer of 2020, please let us know which of the enhancements and updates you and your team find more valuable!
Great PIMS software
Comentários: Overall, we have had an extremely positive experience with Cornerstone. We have used other PIMS in the past, and Cornerstone has the least issues in terms of glitches and bugs that create roadblocks in day-to-day user ability. Staff members navigate the software well, and we have a fair range of functionality.
Vantagens:
This software is incredibly user-friendly and integrates well with our in-house lab equipment. All staff members are able to navigate the system well and without issue.
Desvantagens:
There are, like with any programs, software bugs from time to time that provide glitches and interfere with user functionality.

Hi Diane, thank you for your willingness to recommend Cornerstone to other practitioners! Glad to hear that Cornerstone's integration with hour lab equipment and ease of use are so helpful to you and your team. And we hear you loud and clear on the importance of stability and dependability!
Powerful Software
Vantagens:
Cornerstone is packed full of features. There is so much you can do with an cornerstone to help with every aspect of your practices. We have also switched to Pet Health Network Pro and it is nice to see it right within Cornerstone. We also use IDEXX in-house and mail-out labs so having that all connected is great. When we switched to Cornerstone we also switched to being paper-lite. This made the transition easier (or rather ripping two bandaids off at once). Customer service is amazing! If you are having issues doing something they help you right away and are always friendly.
Desvantagens:
Because there is so much you can do within cornerstone, it is sometimes a struggle to figure out how to do something. In there is always multiple ways of going about doing the same thing. This has led to some issues at first with staff all doing things slightly different. The biggest downfall for me is that you have to close out each day, month, and year. I wish you could just search for a date range or time period instead of having reports based off of closed periods. This makes things difficult if someone forgets to close out a period, or if you have the computer manually close the period and there is a glitch (lets be honest, computers do not always operate the way they should). As a manager if I find a mistake in a deposit, I can’t easily change it from the previous day.

Hi Erin, thanks for sharing your feedback on Cornerstone's versatility, the integrations with Pet Health Network Pro and IDEXX Diagnostics, and for the shout-out to Customer and Technical Support (we'll pass that along). Regarding end of period reporting, we understand some users see it as a pain; we look at it as ensuring that cash reporting locks down, which is why corrections to paste periods aren't allowed. Are you on Cornerstone 8.7 NEXT? You might be pleasantly surprised at how it automates end of day and end of month reporting.
Cornerstone A+
Vantagens:
The ease of scheduling is ideal. You can schedule, reschedule & move appointments with ease. The feature of one user only editing invoices is also ideal, avoids double billing.
Desvantagens:
Only being able to access one screen at a time.
Cornerstone
Comentários: There are some days that I do miss the software. I worked with Cornerstone for 18 years. MVC made the transition to switch to Cornerstone in 1999 shortly after I was hired.
Vantagens:
The detailed information that Cornerstone offers (reports), receipts and treatment plans look clean and simple. Simple to use/navigate. I liked the way the main page was set up for the client information, patient information and medical record.
Desvantagens:
COST - license per computer, frowned upon if you did not buy their computers, not cloud base, have to have a large server to control software for each computer, etc....

Hi Shonna, thank you for your feedback. Great to hear about how valuable the information in the reports Cornerstone generates. Good to know too that the clean, simple design of receipts, treatment plans and the personalized user pages is so helpful to you and your team.
SO MANY WAYS TO GET TO WALMART!
Vantagens:
Cornerstone offers so many ways to get the same end result. This is a blessing and a curse (with training new staff).
Desvantagens:
The time clock lacks all the functions we need today. No way to track PTO accruals and uses. Also the reports are not set up to be able to run the most needed reports - top inventory items in particular.

Thanks for the feedback about Cornerstone. We hear you on training staff on the best way to find information. We've got improvements coming in 2019 that will make finding key client and patient info faster and easier. Three suggestions for you in the meantime: 1) point new staff to the Cornerstone Core Functionality training on the IDEXX Learning Center, 2) recommend they use the handy F1 help feature, and 3) have them go to one of our live, local Cornerstone User Group sessions. There's no charge to attend! You can find an up-to-date listing of those at idexx.com/csusergroup. Thanks also for your suggestions about PTO accrual and reporting!
Cornerstone
Comentários: We bought Cornerstone several years ago, at that time we were a busy 4 doctor practice. Installation was relatively seamless with our antiquated Better Choice system. It does take some getting used to and it is so powerful it has many features, but many ways to accomplish the same thing. You do need to have a solid understanding of windows but I find our staff catches on easily. We are now a busy 8 Veterinarian practice (mixed animal) and we continue to use many of the features Cornerstone has available. Cornerstone also grows with us.
Vantagens:
There are many ways to accomplish the same thing. It is quiet intuitive after you have received the basic training. I have found service support to be timely and effective. It is so versatile I can't imagine it wouldn't be a good fit for any size, growing practice. It integrates very, very well with all of our equipment.
Desvantagens:
It is a beast! It can accomplish so many things it can be intimidating at first but with patience and the willingness to call the support team for help and if you take the time to watch the snippets online. It is an awesome program.
