PMSpractice management system
A veterinary PMS (practice management system) is the practice software that manages appointments, patient and client records, prescribing, dispensing, stock, invoicing and payments.
No French legal text defines the term: it is industry vocabulary. ANSES speaks of “practice software” when referring to the systems that report to CalypsoVet.
In practice, several of a French practice’s legal obligations rest on its PMS: the dispensing register, secure till software, e-invoicing and antimicrobial reporting to CalypsoVet.
