[muskanislam44]

In order to manage the overwhelming volume of data a hospital generates, veterinarians had to rely upon software to function as cash registers and treatment reminder systems. It includes detailed medical records, accurate inventory, precise financial books, organized schedules. Nowadays, it is not difficult anymore, VIA has it. VIA™, the Veterinary Information Assistant, is a leading practice management solution that allows veterinarians to stay in control of their critical medical, financial, and back-office information. VIA is medically oriented software that uses hospital workflow concepts to improve operating efficiencies, staff communication, and patient care.

VIA logoWith VIA you can stay on top of your critical information to improve productivity and the financial performance of your hospital, such as: Generate graphical treatment flowsheets that automatically phone number data fees; Eliminate missed charges through medically driven invoicing; Use electronic whiteboards to monitor hospitalized patient treatment tasks; Improve client relations, employee satisfaction, and operating efficiency; View Digital Radiographs and transmit orders to DICOM radiology equipment; Capture handwritten notes, drawings, and consent signatures; Access your information from home to review medical cases and finances, etc.

The Accounts section provides access to all information related to your client accounts: client and patient files, medical notes, medical history, estimates, invoices, and transaction history.

Patient medical history can be viewed by individual office visit, enabling you to quickly scan all reasons for visit to drill down on a specific case. The Preview Pane improves readability by automatically displaying pertinent medical information. SOAP notes, images, video, services, drug labels, lab graphs, and vaccine information are previewed as you scroll, eliminating unnecessary clicks to see attachments. History can be filtered, for instance, to compare lab results from several visits at once.

With VIA’s SOAP notes (Subjective-Objective-Assessment-Plan) you can document every action that occurs during a patient visit, from the initial client communications to your final diagnoses and plan, as well as store vitals, physical exams, invoiced charges, digital images, sound, and video.

Up until now, this type of detailed information took valuable time to record either in handwritten notes or on a computer. VIA streamlines that process by allowing you to define key phrases, abnormalities, and examination parameters, so you can generate precise, thorough medical notes with only a few clicks of the mouse.

VIA provides an industry first DICOM compliant solution that integrates billing, modality worklist request, PACS querying, and image viewing, all from within your practice management system. VIA’s DICOM Communication and Imaging module allows for seamless integration with Digital Radiography, Computed Radiography, Ultrasound, MRI, and other imaging modalities and PACS (picture archiving and communications) systems.
