Migrate your Panacea data
Veterinary practice management CRM that consolidates patient records, appointments, and billing into one cloud-hosted system. Small to mid-sized clinics use it as an all-in-one alternative to patchwork tools.
In its favor
Why people choose Panacea
The signal that keeps Panacea on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Panacea's cloud-hosted model means practices avoid server maintenance — the vendor handles data centre security and backups, which resonates with small clinics lacking dedicated IT staff.
The bundled appointment scheduling, patient record, and billing functions reduce the need to pay for and integrate multiple tools, particularly appealing to single-vet and two-vet practices.
Customer service receives consistent praise in reviews, with fast response times and remote training that gets practices operational without on-site visits.
Instant price lookups from supplier frameworks (particularly for the print/procurement edition) save time on purchasing workflows by centralising quotes under one job number.
The $31/user/month price point sits below many competing practice management systems, making it accessible for independent clinics validating CRM fit before committing.
Notifications for supplier interactions are absent — users must manually check whether proofs have been uploaded or inquiries accepted, leading to missed deadlines.
Reporting capabilities are frustrating for users who want deeper financial or operational analytics — the built-in reports feel limited compared to dedicated BI tools.
The purchase order workflow can become confusing after interface updates, with mini-quote to PO conversion paths that are not always intuitive for new staff.
Large data migrations (10+ years of patient and account history) can take up to 12 hours in the conversion process, and interruption risks forcing a restart from scratch.

What gets migrated
Panacea object support
Object-by-object support for Panacea migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Patients
Fully supportedPatients are the central animal records in Panacea. We migrate breed, date of birth, weight, species, and microchip ID as standard fields. Custom properties added by the practice are flagged for explicit mapping during the scoping call.
Clients
Fully supportedClient records contain owner name, address, phone, email, and billing contact. Multi-pet households are linked via the client record — we preserve the relationship link so the destination does not create duplicate client records.
Encounters
Fully supportedEncounters represent clinical visits and include chief complaint, SOAP notes, diagnoses, and treatment plans. We sequence encounters in date order and chunk large histories (10+ years) into manageable migration batches.
Vaccinations
Mapping requiredVaccination records include product name, batch number, administration date, and next due date. Some editions store vaccination series as repeating encounter chains, which requires value-mapping to the destination schema.
Prescriptions
Mapping requiredPrescription records include medication name, dosage, frequency, start/end dates, and prescribing vet. Panacea stores some prescriptions as linked line items on encounters — we normalize these into standalone prescription objects before loading.
Invoices
Mapping requiredInvoice records include line items, totals, payment status, and payment method. We preserve open invoice status flags carefully, as closing invoices during migration can affect accounts receivable tracking.
Lab Results
Mapping requiredLab results may be stored as file attachments or as structured result sets depending on the integration. We flag unstructured PDF attachments separately and attempt to extract structured data where possible.
Documents
Mapping requiredDocument storage includes clinical notes, consent forms, and imaging references. We export documents as binary blobs alongside metadata. Destination compatibility depends on whether the target system supports document ingestion.
Staff Users
Mapping requiredStaff records include name, role, credentials, and login email. We map vet names and roles to owner/assignee fields in the destination. Role schemas differ between editions.
Practice Settings
Not in this platformPractice-level settings such as business hours, holiday schedules, service definitions, and fee tables are platform-specific configuration that do not have a portable export. We document these separately for manual reconfiguration post-migration.
