Diagnostic results are now within touch at the Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory — thanks to the launch of a brand-new app for mobile devices. The lab anticipates the new app will improve customer service and efficiency at delivering results to veterinarians across the country. [Source: KSU News]
Gary Anderson, director of the Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University, said the new app is a significant step forward in helping to deliver results.
"This is a major advancement in being able to provide diagnostics to practicing veterinarians out in the field," Anderson said. "Traditionally, we have used a variety of methods of delivery, from snail mail, telephone, fax and email. This app will give veterinarians a way to track the results as soon as they are received here in the lab. It will save time for everyone involved and is a real win-win for veterinarians and their clients who are seeking the best in medical care for their animals."
Push notifications are sent to veterinarians when their samples arrive in the lab and when their test results are ready. The veterinarians can then view and share those results wherever they happen to be working.
The app is available at the App Store and at Google Play; just search for "KSVDL Mobile." Clients can get more information about the app by contacting the Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at clientcare@vet.k-state.edu, 866-512-5650 or visit http://www.ksvdl.org/ ksvdl.org.
