Telemedicine: Extending Care Beyond Your Walls

Veterinary medicine today is changing rapidly. Pet owners are expecting more and more from their veterinarian. These growing expectations, combined with changing consumer habits, can put new strains on hospitals and their bottom line. Adding a flexible telehealth platform as an additional tool to deliver care can help veterinary teams adapt to the new demands through improved communication and client engagement, streamlined team-based workflows, and the creation of new revenue opportunities. To fully realize the benefits of telehealth, veterinarians must understand best practices, legal and regulatory implications, and how to adopt them in their own offices. This lecture will use real-world data and case examples to demonstrate how virtual care can be used to improve practice efficiency and productivity and deepen client relationships.
