Perth-based startup, Vedi, has announced a new partnership with Animal Emergency Australia, a leading emergency veterinary hospital group. The partnership marks a perfect synergy between premium emergency care and state-of-the-art health record technology and is an exciting and progressive milestone for both Vedi and the veterinary sector.
Animal Emergency Australia (AEA) has established itself as one of Australia’s top clinics for providing critical animal care — with ten hospitals across the country. AEA’s emergency sites will benefit from enhanced collaboration and communication with general practice clinics, using Vedi. Leveraging the pet’s existing microchips, Vedi will ensure timely access to accurate patient health records and provide tools that bolster the effectiveness of emergency teams in high-pressure situations.
AEA will use the Vedi platform for improved care delivery, quick data transmission and partner integrations, and accurate pet health information when critical decisions need to be made. The value of AEA’s adoption of Vedi will be felt far beyond the walls of the emergency clinics, with veterinary practices and pet owners all set to benefit from efficiencies and data accuracy.
The initial pilot will roll out across several AEA sites in Western Australia, Victoria, and Queensland. The focus will be on improving the front-of-house patient triage process and facilitating the seamless exchange of health data with GP veterinarians and pet owners post-discharge from the emergency room.
Dr Rod Meehan, Chief of Hospitals at AEA, is enthusiastic about the partnership: “This hasn’t been possible before! We’re excited about partnering with Vedi because it will help our patients, our team, and our clients. The opportunities for better collaboration between stakeholders and the efficiencies we expect to gain operationally in the hospital are next level.”
Dr Steve Joslyn, Co-founder and CEO of Vedi, highlights the technology’s transformative potential: “We’re thrilled that our technology is set to enable AEA ER teams to access the vital information they need to care for a patient by simply scanning their microchip on arrival. In a high-stakes emergency, it will be a game-changer.”
