WebVet, newly titled "VetClinic," is a web-based, SQL driven veterinary practice management application utilizing PHP at the front end. Here's a little bit about the project:
WebVet aims to be one of the first robust, feature-rich and FREE veterinary practice management software programs available. Most veterinary practices use expensive, cumbersome management software when in reality, such programs are fairly simple and lend themselves easily to open source development. Therefore, the WebVet project will give veterinarians another option when it comes to managing their practices.
WebVet is web based, meaning that the software is hosted on a central, local web server within the practice. The central server must run a web server (e.g. Apache), PHP5, and mySQL at minimum in order to run WebVet. The advantage of a web based program is that each individual workstation does not require the program to be installed. All that is needed to access WebVet from a workstation is an internet browser, therefore workstations running any operating system (as well as mobile devices such as tablets) are compatible. Even the central web server can run any operating system, as long as the appropriate applications are installed!
Webvet is open source, which not only means it’s free, but also continually developed and supported, which is a claim a lot of existing veterinary practice management programs cannot make.
Development is in the early stages, but we are making progress. We have one dedicated programmer who is setting up the SQL databases and initiating some of the application development. What we need is another programmer who is comfortable with building such applications utilizing PHP and SQL to build a front-end user platform. We prefer someone who has developed such applications on a Linux platform as we are currently developing on a Windows based WAMP server that may need some tweaks to be ported and released for Linux based servers (which are more likely to be running apache, mysql and PHP).
