NDA Protected

A leading digital healthcare group, using innovative technology to promote everyday pet health. With presence in multiple jurisdictions and varying state regulations, they were looking for a data-driven, VCPR-compliant veterinary telemedicine platform that also offered integrated triage modules and chat and video consultation.

No small feat, their vision included extensive PMS (practice management software) integrations, safe eRx systems, consent protocols that send automatically and keep them out of jail for communication non-compliance, scheduling appointments, and sending real-time notifications, nationwide, to connect pet owners with licensed veterinarians through a call center.

request background

Veterinary Telemedicine Platform Development for Modern Pet Care

Our client approached us to develop a state-of-the-art animal telehealth platform, which would meet the surging interest in convenient pet care services. An answer was required in order to work the confusing requirements of state regulations, and yet keep compliance with a VCPR that spanned multiple states. The platform needs advanced triage module features for pet condition evaluation, chat and video integration for virtual consultation, and full-suite e-prescribing systems to manage medication.

"Ordinary clinics, thrown completely off guard by the overwhelming demand for pets, experienced a one-two punch as call volume pushed up against maximum capacity." Pet parents were looking for a more convenient way to access expertise from veterinarians, particularly for non-emergent consultations and post-appointment follow-up! The client saw the potential for a strong tele-veterinary platform to close this gap and deliver reliable care without adding more pets to already overcrowded clinics.

Success meant doing more than simple video calls, it required a payments processing system, advanced PMS integrations with existing practice management systems, an automated appointment scheduling feature, and the power to drill into detailed analytics. The platform required consent management for regulation compliance and real-time notifications to keep all stakeholders updated every step of the way.

challenge

Complex Challenges in Veterinary Telehealth Platform Development

Developing a telemedicine platform for veterinarians was uniquely challenging along many axes. State-level VCPR, prescription authority, and telemedicine scope of practice regulations were not the same from state to state. The platform required nuanced wizardry to remain compliant while providing frictionless experiences across borders.

The triage system posed a challenging level of complexity, requiring veterinary knowledge to be embedded in intelligent algorithms. It was imperative that this system adequately gauge the urgency of cases, route them accordingly, and keep thorough records to ensure legal compliance. Real-time sync with chat and video systems required HIPAA-compliant data treatment for client communication.

Technical infrastructure: Built a strong eRx / e-prescribing system that could satisfy the DEA's needs for controlled substances. The site needed secure payment processing that could work with a variety of payment types and also would be PCI compliant. Sophisticated PMS integrations required bidirectional data flow through APIs and AUs with dozens of disparate practice management systems, each with its own set of APIs and data formats.

UX had to balance between being functional and not overcomplicated. Pet owners required to schedule a visit intuitively but without flooding their choice, vets wanted power tools and access to a detailed analytics dashboard view. The consent process had to account for legal agreements in a way that was user-friendly but not overwhelming for panicked pet owners who were after emergency care.

Scalability concerns loomed large. The vet telehealth platform had to accommodate emergency traffic surges as well as remain glitch-free during chat and video interactions. For real-time notifications, expert queuing systems were needed to prevent bottlenecks at busy times. The triage module should handle thousands of concurrent assessments without degrading performance.

Additional complexity arose due to the security and privacy concerns. Above and beyond traditional healthcare compliance, it was essential that the solution also help safeguard private veterinary records, financial data from payments processing, and capture audit trails for state regulation compliance across all states.

goals

Design and implement a robust veterinary telemedicine platform architecture to service multi-state operations, enabling full compliance with state regulations, VCPR adherence, and easy integration for triage model with intelligent routing logic based on urgency and specialty needs.
Design and develop a strong communication system with high-level chat and video functionality, e-Rx/e-prescription integrations that adhere to DEA standards, safe payments processing through portals where Vets can raise invoices and charge for consults with profile-based clinician rate cards, real time automated notification systems to help maintain the pet owner – Vet link during care delivery.
Develop advanced PMS integrations with bi-directional data sync for existing vet PMS systems, efficient appointment scheduling workflows as well as a robust analytics dashboard providing actionable insights into practice optimization and growth.
Build clean and intuitive interfaces for pet parents and vets alike, with fluid systems for handling consents or setting up appointments, as well as role-based dashboards that surface metrics of interest to a given audience.
Build a scalable infrastructure for thousands of concurrent users, chat and video that works at scale from reliable chat & video performance – peak demand, efficient triage module processing; payments being handled, real time notifications are robust to ensure consistent performance of the veterinary telehealth platform across the nation.
