Interconnectivity in Veterinary Care: The Benefits of PACS Integration with Electronic Health Records (EHR)

The ability to access and exchange patient information swiftly, securely, and efficiently is tantamount to providing the best care possible. Doctor John Mongan published an article in the National Library of Medicine, demonstrating that interconnectivity, specifically the integration of the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) with Electronic Health Records (EHR), can significantly enhance the standard of care in the veterinary industry, reducing the time for a radiologist to access clinical data, and that this increased efficiency was associated with a substantial increase in EMR utilization by radiologists.

Simplifying the Diagnostic Process 

One of the main benefits for veterinary practices is the consolidation of information. Think of how much easier and quicker your diagnostic processes will be when radiographic images from the PACS are directly linked with your patient’s health records in the EHR system, this will allow you to easily access all the information you need in one place, rather than having to search through multiple systems. This can save time and effort for both veterinarians and their staff members. 

Superior Patient Care through Efficiency 

With PACS-EHR integration, the ability to have immediate access to a patient’s complete medical history, including diagnostic imaging, assists veterinarians in making more accurate diagnoses in less time. This real-time accessibility of data eliminates the need for vets to switch between different programs to view patient information, promoting greater efficiency and, ultimately, better patient outcomes. 

Security You Can Rely On 

Data security is vital for any practice, and with PACS-EHR integration, veterinarians can rest easy knowing that their patient data is secure. The system uses industry-standard encryption to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, and it also provides a full audit trail of all activity within the system. This ensures that any changes made to patient records are logged and can be traced back to the person who made them. We understand this and prioritize the protection of your patient information with robust encryption and secure user permissions.  

Precision and Attention to Detail 

The integration of PACS with EHRs allows for a more detailed and precise veterinary care. Diagnostic images stored in PACS can be co-referenced with notes, lab results, and treatments in the EHR This allows for a more comprehensive view of the patient’s medical history, which can help veterinarians make more informed decisions about treatment options. The integration of PACS with EHRs also allows for better communication between different departments within a veterinary practice. For example, if a radiologist needs to consult with an oncologist about a specific case, they can easily access all relevant information from both systems in one place.
