Free access to the VetNOW virtual veterinary care platform during the coronavirus pandemic To assist veterinary clinics and pet parents impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, VetNOW is offering the use of our virtual veterinary care platform to connect with your clients and colleagues for FREE from now through April 30, 2020.
Being able to offer virtual veterinary care allows your clinic to continue providing quality care to your patients, and their owners, without any risk of exposure to your front-line veterinary care professionals, while also mitigating the fears of clients concerning travel and public gatherings.
Why is VetNOW and Virtual Care important for COVID-19?
Virtual care reduces the risk of exposure for front-line veterinary care professionals and keeps them from becoming patients themselves.
The following options can help reduce unnecessary veterinary care visits and prevent transmission of respiratory viruses in your facility. Similar to disease control and prevention for healthcare professions, these practices should be considered in veterinary care as well:
• Instruct patients to use available advice lines, patient portals, on-line self-assessment tools, or call and speak to an office/clinic staff if they become ill with symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath. • Identify staff to conduct telephonic and telehealth interactions with patients. • Develop protocols so that staff can triage and assess patients quickly. Determine protocols to identify which patients can be managed by telephone and advised to stay home, and which patients will need to be sent for emergency care or come to your facility. • Instruct patients that if they are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, or other respiratory illnesses, they should call before they leave home, so staff can be prepared to care for them when they arrive.
