The Veterinary Innovation Council (VIC) has officially announced the launch of new resources that are all designed to address the nationwide problem of veterinary care access. As a part of its effort, VIC will introduce an Access to Care Resource Hub, which is going to be responsible for providing veterinary professionals with the tools, knowledge, and resources they need to offer greater access of veterinary care. This will likely involve handing pet owners and clinics a whole assortment of financial options, along with information on various affordable and accessible options for procedures and other forms of care. Talk about the Access to Care Resource Hub on a slightly deeper, it draws resources from over 100 experts and organizations to conceive, for starters, features like cutting-edge financial tools. All in all, veterinary practice members should be able to discover and compare more than 15 financial options and community reviews that, on their part, will help clients afford necessary care for their pets. Having navigated through the financial aspect, we now must turn our attention towards the hub’s value when it comes to offering updated information from experts on the spectrum of care options. Another detail worth a mention is rooted in the solution’s promise of comprehensive team guides. You see, these team guides are basically designed to let veterinary clinics access step-by-step guides in the context of implementing best practices for improving access to care in their practice.
“Approximately 17 million pets in underserved communities across the U.S. have never seen a veterinarian,” said Dr. Jennifer Welser, President of Arista Advanced Petcare and Chair of the VIC Board of Directors. “This is a crisis in many communities where people either cannot afford veterinary care for their pets or lack physical access to veterinary clinics. The program we are announcing today will open the doors to veterinary care to millions of animals nationwide, providing financial and other resources to pet owners so they can help provide the veterinary care they wish for these beloved family members.”
Hold on, we still have a few bits left to unpack, considering we haven’t yet discussed the presence of in-depth case studies that are there in place to supply creative and impactful approaches taken by practices dealing with challenges similar to yours. To go along with that, the Access to Care Resource Hub even unlocks an uninterrupted access of reliable featured content, which by the way, it procures from leading industry partners to keep users informed on the latest access to care strategies.
Among other details, we got to mention how VIC developed the stated Resource Hub in close collaboration with experts from across the veterinary industry, including practitioners, academics, and animal welfare advocates.
“We are thrilled to introduce this game-changing resource to the veterinary community,” said Aaron Massecar, Executive Director at Veterinary Innovation Council “By equipping veterinary teams with the knowledge and tools they need to serve a wider range of clients, we can make a real difference in the lives of countless animals and the people who love them.”
