Dear colleagues,

On Tuesday October 23, Cornell University Hospital for Animals will launch ezyVet , a cloud-based veterinary practice management software. This will affect the Companion Animal, Equine, Nemo Farm Animal, Ambulatory and Janet L. Swanson Wildlife hospitals.

What you can expect

As a referring veterinarian, you can expect that your experience in the first few weeks will be similar to your experience today with the below modifications:

  • The RefVet Portal will be deactivated next week. We’re replacing it with a commercial referring veterinarian portal fully integrated with our practice management software. It will include bi-directional communication capabilities, expanded access to your patient’s records and CE notifications.
  • We will no longer use section-specific emails for referral communications.
  • Our pharmacists will continue to fill external prescriptions as per our current protocol.
  • On day one of ezyVet, expect to receive tailored RDVM letters within 48 hours of discharge automatically sent from the system.

What your clients can expect

Your clients can expect a more modern, interactive appointment reminder system with two-way communication, digital signatures, syndicate/split billing and automated communication options.

  • By early 2019, your clients can expect a portal that offers online bookings, pharmacy refills, access to their pet’s medical records, and processing of insurance claims.

About ezyVet

This software provides much more than just a replacement of the current system UVIS. ezyVet will perform many processes that are currently being done manually. When our new Small Animal Community Practice opened in June, we implemented ezyVet and have been pleased with the enhancements to record keeping, internal and external communication, student teaching and business processes.
