Teletriage-How Remote Advice Provides Better Care

Abstract

There are veterinary deserts across the country where access to veterinary care is limited. Teletriage allows animal owners in these areas to get expert advice about the time frame for care through convenient, commonly used methods of communication. Teletriage also creates financial benefits for traditional veterinary clinics by increasing scheduling efficiencies. Lastly, teletriage can creates employment opportunities for veterinary nurses without the burden of relocation.
