Ever heard the myth that a physical exam can't be done online? In "Beyond the Clinic Walls," we break down this misconception. 📚✨

"It is crucial to emphasize that virtual care is designed not as a substitute for in-person physical examinations and treatments, but as a valuable complement and enhancement to them. The physical exam is still considered the gold standard for diagnosing and treating veterinary patients, and in-person care is necessary for many conditions. Instead, virtual care should be seen as a tool that can be used alongside traditional care to provide the best possible outcome for each individual patient."

Telemedicine Tuesday: Transforming Pet Care Beyond Expectations! 🚀🐾
In the realm of veterinary care, thinking outside the box opens up a world of possibilities. 🌐 Virtual care isn't just about teletriage and telemedicine; it's a holistic approach that extends beyond diagnosis and treatment. In "Beyond the Clinic Walls," I invite you to reimagine the role of virtual care in the most unexpected places.
Consider this: Your furry friend is at the hospital for a procedure or undergoing diagnostic tests. Wouldn't it be incredible to receive real-time updates on their condition, see pictures of their surroundings, and stay informed about every step of the process? Virtual care can transform the client experience, creating a transparent and connected journey for pet owners, even when they can't be physically present.
Imagine the joy and relief clients feel when they receive a personalized message, a snapshot of their pet recovering comfortably, or instant updates on test results. It's about more than just healthcare; it's about building trust and strengthening the bond between veterinary professionals and pet owners. In "Beyond the Clinic Walls," I share innovative ways to integrate transparent client communication into your practice, enhancing the overall experience for both pets and their devoted owners. Below is an example of how I use our digital care platform to connect with clients and show transparency. Let's break new ground together! 🚀🐾

Telemedicine Tuesday Conversation: Many arguments regarding establishing a virtual VCPR have been discussed in the recent months and state practice act laws are slowly changing to add this into existence. However, the conversation that no one is talking about is what will happen with the pet owners who need follow up care after a virtual vcpr is established? For brick and mortar businesses this will not be a problem. But for the online giants, aka Chewy and Walmart, as well as the remote staffing platforms, how will they provide follow up care for when therapies may fail or emergencies happen? Most of our practice act laws state that the veterinarian providing service must be available for follow up care. Leave your concerns and maybe some creative solutions surrounding this topic below. I can't wait for this discussion to start!
