Covetrus

Prescription management tool

Covetrus, an animal-health technology company, has launched Covetrus Script Assist, a new way for veterinarians to leverage practice management system information to proactively prescribe preventive medications for patients with past or upcoming appointments. Covetrus Script Assist leverages machine learning and practice management records to identify gaps in medical care, particularly in areas like preventive medications. Once a prescription is “created,” the veterinarian or delegate has minimal steps in order to get a prescription to the client for fulfillment on their storefront. The system allows for more informed compliance monitoring—the ability to quickly prescribe preventives will drive practices closer to compliance and help keep their patients healthy. All Covetrus prescription management customers have access to the Script Assist application and may opt in to use it.
