Asynchronous Veterinary Telemedicine

Aaron Smiley. Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract. 2022 Sep.

Abstract

Asynchronous communication is the predominate modality for present day communication. Veterinarians can become more efficient and create more access to care if they incorporate more asynchronous care into daily practice. This article reviews how veterinary medicine has used asynchronous communication in the past, the advantages of asynchronous telemedicine, and the inclusion of the client in virtual referral.

Keywords: Hospice care; Remote care; Telemedicine; VCPR; Virtual care; Wearable technology.
