Dr. Emily M. Tincher, DVM, talks spectrum of care

What do you know about spectrum of care?

On this episode of The Vet Blast Podcast, host Adam Christman, DVM, MBA, sat down with Kristopher Brand, DVM, DACVR, staff veterinary radiologist at VitalRad, to discuss teleradiology and how it can help raise the standard of care you are providing your patients, plus the importance of having a good relationship with a radiologist.

Below is a partial transcript. Listen to the full podcast for more.

The specialists that work in general practice always sort of feels like there is this sort of veil between the general practitioner and a specialist and I feel like working toward a relationship and building an intimate relationship with the general practitioner is really valuable. So I want to sort of break down those barriers and make sure that it feels like the radiologist is just somebody down the hall that you can call on as well as the other specialists, but I am going to speak for radiologists and really I want to have that relationship.

Dr Adam Christman welcomes Dr Kristopher Brand to the Vet Blast Podcast to chat about the future of radiology, and how VitalRads is the specialist you may not have access to in your area.

With the rise in telehealth and virtual care in veterinary medicine, is your practice offering these services to its clients? If not, Jessica Trimble, DVM, explains the importance of offering these services, and how they can affect both clients and staff. 

 I think it's a little irresponsible as a business owner not to think about that, right? So, you know, I'll get super personal myself, I can't work clinically anymore, because I have a chronic disease that causes my joints to just fall apart with repetitive motion. So spaying things and you know, tying suitors over and over, I can't do that anymore. But I can do telehealth. So there's so many people like me out there whose brains still work great. I just can't literally be standing in a clinic for hours on end day after day. And you know, when I first started hiring folks for telehealth, those are the folks that were popping up. It was technicians whose back went out lifting a Great Dane, but they use their brain and support these clinics.

Jessica Trimble, DVM, shares how telemedicine can bond both clients and staff to your practice 

Peace of mind medicine: The importance of telehealth and virtual care in veterinary medicine

Due in large part to the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has embraced virtual care and telemedicine more than ever before. Jessica Lowe, DVM, MBA, BSc, joins The Vet Blast Podcast to share her experiences with virtual care and how it continues to evolve.

: Right now, there's about a two-to-three month waiting period between us getting into a doctor in an in-clinic setting. If the dog has had a little bit of loose bowels, we can talk to them before sending them to you. We can even send them a fecal kit to get their fecal ahead of time...Now you just have to prescribe your dewormer and you're done. You know, we're here to assist and complement the in-person clinic.

How virtual care is changing the landscape of veterinary medicine

Moving the needle in vet med with telehealth and virtual care

Can telemedicine and virtual care play a role in alleviating the veterinary staff shortage and improve access to care? Shadi J. Ireifej, DVM, DACVS joins this episode of The Vet Blast Podcast to talk about his work at VetTriage doing teletriage. 

: If you can figure out what your lane is and...disperse the cases that are sort of outside of your realm right away, you're going to decrease the burden on your staff. But those cases that you're now turning away have to go somewhere, right? So if you're a [general practitioner] and you have critical cases, you want to send [them] to the emergency room. If they have fairly straightforward cases, they want to send them to the general practitioner. That's where we begin virtual care. What that'll allow for is playing traffic controller. They can actually figure out where who goes where and when.

 interview, Fetch Charlotte faculty member Donita McCants, DVM, explained how telehealth can serve as an option for those with financial or geographical barriers.

The following is a partial transcript of the video.

Access to care is a difficult thing sometimes for people, especially those that may not have transportation. So having this option is amazing, especially for me as a concierge veterinarian because some of my clients, they don't have what they need to get to locations or they may not have a lot of money.

In this dvm360® interview, Dr Donita McCants describes when this resource is especially beneficial for pet owners

How telehealth can promote access to care 

 interview, Shadi Ireifej, DVM, DACVS, describes the strides VetTriage is making in the veterinary telehealth space, and why this kind of tool is essential to operations in today's world.

 VetTriage is a company that I've been working on for well over a decade now. The idea came to me when I was performing my surgery internship. I was watching the receptionist answer phone calls, and I noticed that they [answer] 100 calls a day in a busy 24/7 emergency multispecialty facility and a lot of clients were calling in asking about whether they should come in or not, is what I'm seeing in my patent medical emergency. So I thought, (and this is in 2007-ish) I thought, man, if you can just create a platform that allows doctors to answer the phone call to answer that question...
