RaptorMed is very easy to use, requires little in the way of computing resources and has a very long list of useful functions and features that are designed to improve staff efficiency and the quality of care. In addition, because there is powerful database running behind-the-scenes, the data that is collected in the system is now completely searchable. With RaptorMed, you can "go paperless" since there is no need for traditional paper records anymore.
| Your patient records can now be made available on the web so your finders can 
					track their animals 
					and receive up-to-the-moment updates on patient progress. This page also estimates your expenditures 
					and total cost to treat each patient and this allows the public to get an in-depth understanding of 
					just what it takes to treat injured wildlife. There is a DONATE button that is sure to generate new 
					income for your organization. Here is a screenshot of a typical patient page (click it to enlarge). At Carolina Raptor Center, we 
					raised over $7,000 from donations for the care of a single bald eagle chick using this page!
