Spend less time in the software, more with patients.
You did not get into medicine to fight a clunky interface. OpenVPM keeps records fast and connected, so documentation gets out of your way and the patient stays the focus.
Workspace access is immediate. Live clinic use starts as a guided pilot alongside the current PIMS. See current fit and rollout limits.
Built for the way you work.
The friction you know, and how an open, connected PIMS clears it.
Charting eats the day
Structured, template-driven SOAP notes make documentation fast, so you finish the record without staying late.
The history is never where you need it
Labs, prescriptions, vaccines, and weight trends all live on the patient record, accessible from any exam room or device.
You cannot see how it actually works
OpenVPM is open source, so the way your clinical data is stored and handled is transparent, not a black box.

Common questions
Will OpenVPM speed up my charting?
Yes. SOAP notes are structured and template-driven, and connected to labs, prescriptions, and vaccines, so you document once and it is all linked.
Can I use it on a tablet in the exam room?
Yes, while connected. OpenVPM has responsive browser workflows for phones and tablets, but offline charting is not supported.
Does it handle controlled substances?
Yes. Prescriptions include refill tracking, and the controlled-substance ledger records patient-linked activity, witness details for waste, lots, running balances, users, and timestamps. Validate it against your clinic's local procedures.
