Hardware
The foundation of technology is the hardware, and we help to educate you on the hardware that is best suited for your hospital. We recommend various hardware manufacturers based on the track record and support for small and mid-sized businesses. Creative solutions from our knowledgebase can help your practice truly move into the digital world. For example, the pole stand shown to the right allows you to add a full workstation anywhere in the hospital.
Mobility: House Calls and Farm Calls — With a laptop, and a wireless printer, you have access to all the information from the hospital, and can perform every task with ease. You can use the same flow as you would at the hospital, accessing the same screens, or use similar screens to match your unique flow at a house-call. QuickVet maintains all hospital functions, but provides enhanced efficiency at the house-call. Our Appointment Scheduler will automatically add the client’s address into the appointment details (along with their phone number), so appointments can easily be grouped by location. You can also maintain the Appointment Scheduler on the road, and when you return to the hospital, the remote update will alert you to any scheduling conflicts, while updating the schedules. Any changes you make to the client information and to any of their pets (even ones not seen), will be updated automatically when you return to the hospital. The hospital can maintain multiple mobile units simultaneously, with remote updates integrated with the hospital server. Three unique flows can be performed at a house-call: Standard, Quick Consult, and Duplicate Visit. A visit can be tagged with a Clinic To Do Item, to remind you to perform a task when you return to the hospital.
Integrating QuickVet and the Hardware into the Exam Room
To fully utilize QuickVet, you need an access point at each location where information is entered or referenced. Obviously you will have a computer or two or three at the Reception Desk, for arriving and departing. A computer at Pharmacy and one in Treatment are also primary locations. But the area you interact most with the client & patient is in the Exam Room, or Consultation Room. Though these rooms are rather small, there are technologies to make it easy to add a computer in the this small space. Below are some simple solutions:
Full Desktop Computer Wall Mount

Hidden Desktop Wall Mount (Stored)...just Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor in the Stored Position  |
Hidden Desktop Wall Mountpositioned so the Client can see, perfect! |
Networking
Networking allows all computers and devices to communicate, whether it's in the hospital, during a farm call, or being on vacation and checking in on how things are going.
Software
This is what it's all about, software! Making the hardware and networking actually work for you, that's where we help!
Access to the 5-Minute Veterinary Consult — With the CD version, you can quickly access any condition or drug within QuickVet, by simply highlighting the desired word(s) and click on 5-MIN CONSULT. The 5-Minute Veterinary Consult will automatically launch, bringing up the desired information, without having to find the book, and manually looking up the information. The best part is that you can copy information from the Veterinary Consult and paste this information directly into QuickVet, whether it’s the clinical history, or Home Instructions for the client.
Technology
Our hospitals are currently using many technologies, from many companies, to help meet the needs of their clients and patients. Since we work very closely with these hospitals, our knowledgebase includes these experiences to help you select and use these technologies. · Access to Technologies Improving Your Practice — QuickVet integrates with technologies to improve your practice: Pet Portals®, Antech’s Z(O)ASIS, 5-Minute Veterinary Consult, HealthyPet Reminders and others.
