VETERINARY PRACTICES

More rooms, more equipment, and a harder environment

A veterinary hospital is a clinic, a surgery, a pharmacy, a lab, and often a boarding facility, all running on one network. It has more going on per square foot than almost anything else we support.

More endpoints than people expect

Exam rooms, the treatment area, surgery, the lab bench, the pharmacy, reception, and in many practices kennels or boarding as well. Each one wants a workstation or a tablet, and treatment usually needs several because that is where the work actually happens. It adds up to more devices than a human practice of comparable size, generally on a smaller budget.

Radiography and the in-house lab

Digital radiography units and in-house analyzers both want to push results into the record on their own, and each one usually arrives with its own installer from the company that sold it. We handle the part in between: making those connections dependable, and making sure results land where the doctor is actually looking.

The software everyone touches

Whether your practice management system runs on a local server or is hosted, every person in the building uses it. It has to be quick from all of them: the treatment area, a tablet in an exam room, the front desk. Those are the places we check it before we call it working.

The environment is harder on equipment

Hardware in a veterinary hospital has a rougher life than hardware in an office. It gets cleaned aggressively, it lives near water and near animals, and hair gets into everything with a fan in it. Where a machine is mounted matters, and so does picking equipment that can take the conditions in the room it is going into.

Not HIPAA, still worth protecting

Veterinary records are not covered by HIPAA the way human patient records are. That does not change much in practice: client payment information, contact details, and the hospital's own operating data are all worth protecting, and ransomware closes a veterinary hospital just as effectively as it closes a medical one.
