Augmedix Announces Partnership with Veterinary Specialty Center to Support Emergency Veterinary and Specialty Care
November 16 2022 - 7:00AM
Augmedix Inc. (Nasdaq: AUGX), a healthcare technology company that
delivers industry-leading, ambient medical documentation and data
solutions, announces its first-ever partnership in veterinary
services with Veterinary Specialty Center, an independently-owned,
multidisciplinary 24-hour veterinary emergency hospital and trauma
center offering a range of comprehensive specialty services.
“Augmedix is truly excited to offer our industry-leading medical
documentation solutions to help alleviate the administrative burden
felt among veterinarians and their staff,” said Augmedix CEO Manny
Krakaris. “Our solutions have been serving clinicians and hospitals
across the country for a decade, and thanks to outreach from
Veterinary Specialty Center, we are pleased to naturally and
successfully enter into veterinarian services with this
partnership.”
With the implementation of Augmedix solutions this year,
Veterinary Specialty Center has the ability to alleviate
administrative burden and increase productivity. Veterinarians can
save up to three hours per day on medical documentation, preventing
them from working late or taking work home. This enables
veterinarians to have increased satisfaction and better work-life
balance. With less time focused on medical documentation,
veterinary staff can spend more time implementing the skills they
are trained in and have a passion for in the delivery of care. This
has resulted in increased patient volumes and the capacity for
Veterinary Specialty Center to take on more emergency cases.
“With Augmedix, we are able to focus on patient care and
accommodate more clients,” said Dr. Jennifer Herring, MS, DACVECC,
of Veterinary Specialty Center. “Augmedix has transformed our
hospital’s operations and improved the work-life balance of our
employees. I’m not sure how we functioned without them.”
“This partnership with Augmedix has made everyone’s lives so
much easier,” added Dr. Margaret Foley, CHPV, of Veterinary
Specialty Center. “It was easy to implement, and I have not stayed
late a single day to write records since starting. We could not go
back to life before Augmedix.”
Emergency veterinary environments with 24/7 services, such as
Veterinary Specialty Center, can add stress which exacerbates the
typical fatigue and burnout seen in the medical field. The
strategic partnership between Augmedix and Veterinary Specialty
Center demonstrates the value and need for automated medical
documentation and live clinical support beyond traditional
healthcare settings.
