What John Oliver gets wrong about The Satanic Temple and abortion rights

In the most recent episode of HBO's "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver", he made a mention of a particular publicity stunt by a certain satanic for-profit business-cum-church.

In so doing, he demonstrated perfectly the way The Satanic Temple's grift works, and the limitations of "Last Week Tonight" as an actual news program rather than what it is: a popularizer and disseminator of the work done by others.

If the show had done a proper investigation, they would have immediately found huge red flags involving the Temple's clinic that call into question its legitimacy entirely. Since they did not, we'll show you what so many have missed despite being out in the open.

youtube

JOHN OLIVER: But also, note that we can still act here. Some have taken some small steps in the last year that are, if nothing else, immensely satisfying. Like this one that was covered by a Catholic news network. > TRACY SABOL: An international group named after Satan will soon open its first abortion business in the United States. > > The Satanic Temple, which claims to not believe in a literal Satan, will provide telehealth screenings and prescribe abortion pills for patients in New Mexico. The name of the soon-to-be facility? The Samuel Alito's Mom's Satanic Abortion Clinic. (AUDIENCE CHEERS) JOHN OLIVER: Incredible. Very well played. Now, is that gonna fix everything? No, of course it isn't. But when it comes to responding to such wide spreading devastation, you could do a lot worse than the single best "your mom" joke of all time. Especially when you add in that one of the group's co-founders even said, "In 1950, Samuel Alito's mother did not have options, and look what happened."

That seems like pretty high praise, and the show moves on without further comment on it.

From this, you would not know that The Satanic Temple fundamentally jeopardized the legitimacy of this telehealth clinic by utilizing fake names on government documents for its New Mexico corporations registry.

"Malcolm Jarry" is the pseudonym of TST co-owner Cevin Soling; despite listing two different addresses and listing him twice, "Lucien Greaves" is the same person as Douglas Misicko.

Doing this is almost certainly literally perjury, as has come up in court for them before.

Actually, several times.

To repeat: You do not get to lie and use a fake name for yourself on government documents, particularly documents establishing legal ownership of your corporation.

In any proper legal challenge to The Satanic Temple's clinic, including anyone who treats TST's marketing as credible and wants to use it as a shield against abortion bans, this would be found out and it would absolutely put the entire endeavor in jeopardy.

Of course, it gets worse.

Here's what the Temple says on its website about this clinic, emphasis added:

Q: Abortion is illegal where I live. Can I still get an abortion with TST Health? A: Abortion is legal in New Mexico. Regardless of where you live, if you are in the state of New Mexico during your video consultation and when you perform your abortion ritual, you will have abided by the law. However, if you travel to a state where abortion is illegal and need follow-up care, there may be some risks. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough information to know how state laws will be enforced. We believe that the religious nature of our care neutralizes this risk, but state courts must affirm this, and we are working toward attaining that confirmation.

And here are the kinds of billboards TST has run around the country and in its Facebook ads in bids for attention and while soliciting money:

“Our religious Abortion Ritual Averts Many State Restrictions”.

Yet, when The Satanic Temple sued a billboard company that was unwilling to run that demonstrably false advertisement, TST owner Cevin Soling had to admit in his deposition that he was not aware of any examples where Satanism had been successfully used to avert a state restriction on abortion, including their own previous attempts:

As of November 2023, The Satanic Temple has lost six (6) abortion-ban challenges, lost them in state and in federal court, lost them at the district court, appellate court, and supreme courts.

TST has never helped someone avert a state law restricting abortion. But they have fundraised heavily off of the idea that they can.

How much? It's very tough to say because "The Satanic Temple, Inc." d/b/a "TST Health Inc." and "Sam Alito's Mom's Satanic Abortion Clinic Inc." is not a regular nonprofit: it's a tax-exempt church. And as a tax-exempt church, it is under no legal requirement to report its finances.

John Oliver famously created "Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption" in 2015 to highlight the problems inherent with this, so you might argue that TST is just doing the same thing and attempting to bring awareness to a problem with the U.S. tax code.

Except that Oliver shut his corporation down after a month and reported its finances, meanwhile "The Satanic Temple Inc." chugs along year after year soliciting money and providing no financial transparency about how much money is coming in or where it's being spent. (Say, pursuing various SLAPP actions against ex-members; again, Oliver would know something about being on the receiving end of one of those.)

Of course it gets even more complicated.

The Satanic Temple's owners registered their tax-exempt church "The Satanic Temple Inc." in New Mexico as, among other things, "TST Health Inc." and have been promoting merchandise for it as well.

But the merch lacks the "tax-deductible" notification, which is the only way on TST's website to distinguish purchases benefitting the for-profit "United Federation of Churches LLC d/b/a 'The Satanic Temple' " from its nonprofit "The Satanic Temple (Inc.)".

How much money did The Satanic Temple bring in specifically for this telehealth clinic based on its fundraising campaigns? We don't know, and TST's owners won't tell you.

How many people did The Satanic Temple actually help with its telehealth clinic? We don't know — although we did get some idea from TST's failed Indiana abortion-ban lawsuit where TST indicated "over two dozen" people in a state with existing abortion clinics where abortion was legal had been able to be helped between February and June 2023.

Now, as part of the same proceedings, The Satanic Temple claims that it spent "over $75,000 to establish and maintain an abortion clinic" but that number is rather suspiciously the exact number TST needed to claim for damages in order to meet federal jurisdictional requirements, and it's exactly the sort of thing you'd want to see broken down in an audit because it claims it spent this in March 2023, prior to operating expenses actually kicking in.

So if that were true, and again, there's no reason to think it is, it would mean that The Satanic Temple is one of the most inefficient ways for anyone to get fund abortions. This is the sort of thing the group Indigenous Women Rising pointed out at the time in response to TST's announcement.

Even if The Satanic Temple were actually doing this with the best of intentions, and there's no reason to think they are, it would be a bad idea to try to come in from Massachusetts and re-invent the wheel rather than support any of the established organizations operating in New Mexico who have local connections and experience with the challenges of funding abortions for people.

None of this is especially hidden information, you know. Even the court proceedings are out for the public to examine, especially for lawsuits that have gotten so much attention when they were announced, thanks to a TST press release, and at their close, thanks to the Indiana Attorney General's press release.

But they do require doing work, asking follow up questions, and expecting more evidence in response to those questions than, "Just trust me, bro."

So how did the "Last Week Tonight" segment happen? Well, going back to the video, have two news outlets here: the first is EWTN, and the second is the Albuquerque Journal.

The EWTN "News Nightly" segment comes from Feb. 3, 2023, the Albuquerque Journal article from Feb. 6, 2023.

If you look at both, the way they're structured is taking a press release from The Satanic Temple and quoting from it and TST's website. EWTN is a straightforwardly Catholic news agency, so it just talks to Father Steve Grunow, CEO of Word on Fire Ministries for his take on the situation; the Albuquerque Journal is a mainstream, "objective" newspaper, so it quotes Elisa Martinez, founder and executive director of the New Mexico Alliance for Life; and it quotes Joan Lamunyon Sanford, executive director of the New Mexico Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, while adding in some more details about "The Satanic Temple Inc." being an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Note that no one has yet done actual journalism here. The Catholic news agency has a bogeyman to beat up on and connect to abortion rights more generally, such as Ruth Bader Ginsberg getting a statue. The "straight news" outlet quotes from a press release then plays stenographer for the views of "both sides"; the deepest anyone goes is confirming that TST has an entity that can accept tax-deductible donations.

Sympathetic outlets like Hemant Mehta of "The Friendly Atheist", meanwhile, offer no pushback and just look for more quotes from TST to dutifully transcribe with no pushback or further investigation.

The Satanic Temple's press release and additional quotations from "pro" and/or "anti" abortion rights figures who are basically unconcerned with any particular facts of the situation, just taking TST's framing and reacting to it. When "Last Week Tonight" does a short segment about it, it leans on the work of others who upon deeper examination are actually doing very little work.

Larger media outlets like Jezebel and smaller, local ones like the Riverfront Times, on the other hand, have done in-depth looks at the Temple more generally and discovered that underneath the marketing there is not much of anything.

Prior to this clinic's announcement, we did our own in-depth roundup of abortion access orgs, journalists, legal experts, and actual court outcomes. Again: when abortion rights folks are actually familiar with the specifics of The Satanic Temple and TST's activities, the opinion is skeptical to outright hostile.

It would be really nice if John Oliver and his team were willing to apply the same level of skepticism to glorified press releases about The Satanic Temple that they do to many other topics.

But that takes work, and if local and partisan sources aren't doing the yeoman's work for them, even with HBO's budget, "Last Week Tonight" is like to skip it and make mistakes.

We've been willing to do the work, to be deservedly skeptical, and to compare the claims The Satanic Temple has made in one place versus ones they've made other places. We have limited resources and time as well, and we're not professionals. Unfortunately, it often seems like we're the only ones doing this.

But you can, too. You can watch yourself when a piece of news comes in that tickles your fancy, like someone being rude to an odious Supreme Court justice, and ask yourself a few more questions about what claims are actually being made and whether you ought to have some follow-up questions about it.

For us the most important one remains, "Why doesn't The Satanic Temple have any financial transparency or accountability for what it does with its donations, and why is it not more clear what is a for-profit sale benefiting the owners and what is a nonprofit donation?"

Sep 07, 2024

Pfizer filed a trademark application for “PfizerForAll” earlier this year that hinted at its plans for a direct-to-consumer push.

Direct to consumer advertising is of course not new in pharma, and many companies run separate consumer facing websites for various drug brands - i.e. “ask your doctor if Viagra is right for you, and here is a discount code.” Like some other pharma companies, Pfizer has connected patients to telehealth services on certain individual brand websites and will continue to do so. What is new and looks very desperate is to me is Pfizer will be issuing prescriptions directly to patients now, using a contracted service, UpScript. The website, PfizerForAll, will initially be focused on respiratory illnesses and migraine.

From the industry news:

Pfizer has had a tumultuous couple of years as Covid-related product sales have dropped and it’s been forced to cut billions in costs. It’s not clear to what extent the direct-to-consumer push will drive more sales. On an earnings call in late April, a Lilly executive said a “relatively low volume” of prescriptions for its popular obesity drug Zepbound were coming from LillyDirect as of the first quarter.

Yeah, it’s been tumultuous alright, $4-6 billion in cost cutting and laying off thousands of employees to be precise. After killing and maiming millions of people worldwide… So, the hope now is to milk the remaining brainwashed until those are totally dead…

In addition, Pfizer/BioNTech’s combo covid-flu shot has failed in Phase 3. And by “failed” we mean failed the fake efficacy endpoints of “geometric mean titers” which at best mean nothing, but likely measure your degree of anaphylaxis/injury to the immune system. Of course, this product is a poison that nobody needs anyway:

I've been following the Adderall shortage and really want to dig into why all of the sudden there is massive shortage in drug availability.

The news articles I read talk about a large increase in ADHD diagnoses from 2020 onwards. I listened to the Wall Street Journal's podcast exposé titled "Uncontrolled Substances" which investigated the psychiatric telehealth subscription service Cerebral and their questionable ethical practices of diagnosing and prescribing ADHD medications, among others. In fact, they are under federal investigation in the United States. The company was using a loophole in the practice of prescribing controlled substances via telehealth platforms during the beginning of the COVID pandemic.

Adderall and most other ADHD medications are controlled substances due to the high risk of misuse and addiction because it is a stimulant. Those prescribed with an ADHD medication deserve regular connection with their providers to ensure their treatment is following best practices. Plus, being a controlled substance means that the medications cannot be dispensed in large amounts, requiring more frequent trips to the pharmacy to get it refilled, and increased visits with their prescribers.

Now, those who need this medication to help their everyday functioning are forced to ration or even discontinue the medication. And I wonder how much of the current situation is because of for-profit companies taking advantage of the chaos the pandemic placed on the U.S. healthcare system. I also am left wondering how many people received a diagnosis of ADHD without appropriate screening and diagnostics.

I'm going to keep following this and will make more updates to this as it comes along.

I'm still here!!!

If you've noticed my absence I apologize. Things have been wild and crazy for about two weeks now, but have finally started to settle. I look forward to catching up with all my Tumblr faves ❤️ (tldr at the end, sorry it's a novel!)

The tire incident was simple and manageable, thankfully. Just another random, painful expense, and reminder that life is chaotic-neutral and meaningless at best, but possibly chaotic-evil and maliciously masochistic at worst. 🙄

All the stress of the past few weeks or so reminded me that I may have an autoimmune disorder of sorts; it seems any time I experience a high stress load, my body creates extreme inflammation or something, which causes me intense and chronic pain in my muscles, joints, and bones, as well as extreme fatigue. My poor, ever patient and graceful husband reminded me that last year I was prescribed some Celebrex for the very same symptoms, and I should give it a try. It helped almost immediately; I have a telehealth appointment with my PCP today to discuss seeking a specialist's evaluation for this. I'm honestly quite tired of doctors, diagnoses, and medication, but I can't exist successfully in the prior state of pain, so I will do as I must.

We got the new stove installed, finally. The whole process only cost us nearly $2500 from start to finish though lol 😂😭. We had to hire an electrician to wire the correct wire gauge and outlet through the house. We had to hire a plumber to cap off the gas line. We had many delays and miscommunications. But it's finally here! And it's been amazing so far. It's like the electric car of ovens lol: all torque all the time. I've been relishing in simply being able to make myself whatever I want whenever I want. I think I forgot how integral cooking is in my lifestyle until it was no longer accessable. I'm beyond grateful for the ability again. We can also stop spending tons of money on takeout, and can have healthier meals and snacks again, which is a blessing 🙌

Work has been off the rails too lol. It's the busiest time of the year for the bee farm, and it's my first time experiencing it. We're really feeling the pressure, but I think we're all doing our best to make it work. We are simply chronically understaffed and stretched thin. We have a general policy of flexibility; they purposefully cross-train as much as possible so that we can jump back and forth across different responsibilities throughout the day, but there are some fundamental flaws with that. I have noticed a lack of monetary compensation for the added responsibilities and skills, and of course without proper coverage, when someone hops from one need to another, a different hole is created and a new situation can arise. So we're trying to find the balance between what we need as a company, and what the human body and mind are actually capable of lol.

Two weeks ago was supposed to be our first bee pick up of the year. It was pushed to this past weekend due to weather, so we had about 400 orders stacked for one weekend. We sell two types of bees: Italian bees, which we source from California and Florida breeders, and our own specialty, chemical-free bees, which we breed on site. Due to the poor weather (climate change, lets be real), the spring season had yet to kick off, and it was impossible to ship the Italian bees during freezes and floods, as well as initiate the queen breeding process in the cold. So this past weekend our pick up volume doubled.

To make things more interesting lol, we also hosted this year's Texas Mead Festival! It was a fun display of 6 different meaderies from all over the state (including our own meadery, Wildflyer), with samples and gifts and live music and food. All week up to the day of the event, it was down-pouring rain daily. Our farm is mostly grass and gravel. The location for the outdoor festival was now officially Woodstock 1999 lol: a mud pit. But they set up booths and tents nonetheless and we went for it.

On that day, I was meant to run the farm's cafe, and flex between retail/bee pick up as I was needed. They also pinned me with hosting the gourmet honey tastings, and the history tour for the day. Why we allowed these extra events during such a chaotic day is beyond me.

We were busy from hour one. The festival didn't start until noon, and pick ups weren't supposed to start until two, but our owner made the executive decision to start pick ups early since we were technically 'ready', so we were bombarded with already frustrated bee keepers out the gate. Bee folk are strange folk, too; trust me on that. Thankfully I was sequestered in the kitchen for coffee service until noon, when I ran across the yard to host the gourmet tasting. The group was friendly and it went well, but I left right at the start of lunch service, and came back to it in full swing. We were slammed until I had to leave again at two for the history tour, and it was painful to abandon the crew, but I did my due diligence. It was another great group of customers though, and it went well. But when I got back to retail to check in, chaos had broken loose; the shop was overrun with regular weekend customers, day drunk festival goers, and cranky beekeepers. There were only two people at retail trying to do the work of at least four. But I couldn't stay to help, as the cafe had a line out the door and were in the reeds to say the least. We cranked out orders until we literally ran out of everything, and I had to ask the people in line to leave for an hour so we could desperately scramble to prep more ingredients and continue service. People grumbled but I think the mead was playing the part of placater that day lol, and we were barely able to scrape it back together. We stayed open until seven; retail was only open until five. One of the retail gals came and helped us close, because she's an angel and easily my favorite coworker right now lol. We had over-prepped in preparation for the event, and it still took us by surprise, so it was a heavy lesson to learn in the moment. But we survived and probably even thrived; all the customers had positive feedback, and we left for the day feeling satisfied.

Selling delicate livestock has its drawbacks though. We've been fielding calls all week about unsuccessful transport and installation of colonies and queens. I've been playing customer service all week, trying to troubleshoot bee issues and manage replacements and refunds. It's kind of a case by case thing; we're responsible for the bees' wellness up to the point of leaving the property, and the customer must sign a waiver agreeing to such. But accidents can happen despite how seasoned and knowledgeable the beekeeper might be, so we try to be flexible and accommodating if the situation is right. It's been a bit stressful. I've also spent any free time I've had just trying to restock the absolutely obliterated equipment room of all its hive bodies, gear, tools, etc.

I had a nice debrief about the weekend with the owner though, and I think I succinctly communicated the reality of the flex ideology on me and my fellow workers, as well as the needs of the kitchen as an independent entity during big events like this. It was a fruitful talk and I think the next pick-up, this coming Friday and Saturday, will go much more smoothly, and not just because there won't be a festival cherry on top of the chaos pie lol. There will be many more large events at the farm this year, so I think Mead Fest was a harsh but necessary test run.

✨TLDR: It's been trial after tribulation, but I think I'm rounding a corner and coming out better for it.

I'm grateful for everything I've learned, the support of my loving friends, family, and husband, a safe home to come back to every day, a stable job with owners and coworkers whom I think genuinely care, and the general reclamation of my health lol. I'm beyond grateful for the stability and privilege in my life to be able to experience so much struggle at once and somehow bounce right back, possibly even stronger than before.

Thanks for sticking around 💖

Best Practices for Healthcare Providers to Maximize Telehealth Billing Efficiency

Telehealth has revolutionized healthcare, enabling providers to reach patients in remote locations and offering convenient access to medical services. However, along with its benefits, telehealth presents unique challenges in billing and reimbursement. As the demand for telehealth services grows, it becomes increasingly important for healthcare providers to optimize their telehealth billing processes. In this article, we explore the best practices for healthcare providers to streamline telehealth billing efficiency, ensuring accuracy and timeliness in claims, while maximizing revenue.

Understand Telehealth Billing Regulations and Policies

One of the key factors that affect telehealth billing efficiency is understanding the regulations and policies governing telehealth services. These rules vary significantly across states and insurers. For instance, Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance companies have different guidelines when it comes to telehealth reimbursement, coding, and coverage.

To navigate these complexities, healthcare providers should regularly review updates from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and stay informed about any policy changes related to telehealth billing. Understanding which telehealth services are eligible for reimbursement and ensuring that claims are compliant with regulatory requirements will help avoid claim rejections and delays. Regular training and keeping abreast of telehealth billing regulations are essential for improving your revenue cycle management.

Optimize Medical Billing and Coding for Telehealth Services

Efficient medical billing and coding is critical to the success of telehealth billing services. Coding errors are one of the most common reasons for claim denials, and in telehealth, the complexity increases as providers must use specific codes for virtual services. Healthcare providers need to ensure they are using accurate Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes for telehealth visits.

Training your medical billing staff to correctly use telehealth-specific codes will significantly reduce errors. Implementing auditing procedures to catch discrepancies before claims are submitted will also improve efficiency. By aligning billing and coding practices with insurance claim processing requirements, healthcare providers can ensure faster reimbursement and a smoother telehealth billing process.

Implement Advanced Healthcare Information Management Systems

Technology plays a crucial role in improving the efficiency of telehealth billing services. Adopting an advanced healthcare information management system can automate many tasks in the billing process, including patient eligibility verification, claims submission, and follow-up on unpaid claims. These systems not only help reduce administrative burden but also minimize errors and expedite insurance claim processing.

Look for healthcare information management platforms that integrate with telehealth platforms and allow real-time data sharing between patient care and billing systems. Automating these processes ensures that patient records, telehealth visit documentation, and billing codes are accurately synced, reducing the chances of missed charges or coding errors. Efficient use of technology in telehealth billing services will lead to quicker claim approval and a more streamlined revenue cycle management process.

Enhance Revenue Cycle Management with Timely Claims Submission

A key element in maximizing telehealth billing efficiency is optimizing revenue cycle management (RCM). Timely submission of claims plays a major role in ensuring cash flow remains steady. Delays in claim submissions can lead to revenue losses or disruptions. Healthcare providers should prioritize submitting clean claims as quickly as possible to minimize the risk of rejections and denials.

Having a dedicated team to track and manage the status of insurance claims is crucial. By regularly monitoring the claims submission process, your team can follow up on unpaid or delayed claims, resubmit corrected claims, and address denials immediately. A robust RCM strategy should include real-time reporting tools that provide insights into the status of claims, allowing for faster decision-making and resolution.

Partner with a Specialized Telehealth Billing Service Provider

Managing telehealth billing in-house can be time-consuming and prone to errors, especially with the growing demand for virtual healthcare services. Outsourcing your telehealth billing services to a specialized provider can significantly enhance billing efficiency. Professional medical billing services have the expertise to handle telehealth-specific coding, insurance claim processing, and compliance with state and federal regulations.

By partnering with a telehealth billing company, healthcare providers can focus on delivering quality patient care while leaving the complex billing process to experts. Outsourcing also reduces overhead costs related to hiring and training in-house billing staff, allowing for a more cost-effective revenue cycle management approach. With a specialized provider managing your telehealth billing, you can maximize reimbursement rates and minimize claim denials.

Conclusion: Streamline Your Telehealth Billing Process for Maximum Efficiency

In today’s evolving healthcare landscape, telehealth is here to stay. To ensure its long-term viability, healthcare providers must adopt best practices in telehealth billing, such as staying updated on regulations, optimizing medical billing and coding, and leveraging advanced healthcare information management systems. With a focus on timely claim submissions and a robust revenue cycle management strategy, providers can enhance their telehealth billing efficiency and ensure continuous cash flow.

The Top 5 Features for Veterinary Telemedicine Software

Clinics around the nation are being stretched to their breaking point due to the severe scarcity of veterinarians and the growing demands for their services.

The COVID-19 epidemic was found to have made an already serious shortage of veterinarians much worse. According to the article, veterinarians began retiring in order to avoid contracting COVID, and the need for veterinary services rose in tandem with the number of pets adopted by their new owners during the epidemic.

The need for more veterinarians seems to be urgent. In May 2022, NBC12 reported that Richmond, Virginia's vet shortage had become so acute that local animal clinics were directing pet owners to facilities outside the city. However, veterinary telemedicine software presents a potential answer to the problem of a lack of veterinarians.

A Definition of Telemedicine

Telemedicine refers to the delivery of medical care over the Internet. Non-medical support and learning materials are two examples of what telehealth may be used for. These two names are often used interchangeably. However, the main distinction is that telehealth covers a greater variety of applications.

Rewards of Telehealth

Due to the convenience of remote treatment through telehealth, veterinary clinics may treat more patients without them having to make an extra trip for an appointment.

The most common features of telehealth software include support for real-time digital information, patient information storage and transfer, reliable insights into decision making, and sophisticated security mechanisms. Integrations of systems are required to preserve interoperability for these vital purposes.

Software firms looking to enter this growing sector would be wise to contract the services of a software development firm well-versed in creating cutting-edge veterinary telemedicine software. Features like electronic health records (EHRs), remote patient monitoring (RPM), appointment scheduling (APTs), electronic prescription (e-prescribing), and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered components would be very helpful.

The EHR System, or Electronic Health Record

An electronic health record (EHR) system is an essential component that can be included with telehealth software. As presented by Doug Bonderud in the online journal HealthTech, EHRs include diagnostic data and clinician observations from many healthcare institutions and may be exchanged across organisations and with patients.

The 5 Crucial Elements of a Successful Software Deployment

A pet owner should be able to gain access to this kind of system through an intuitive, engaging pet portal with a simple user registration, and the veterinary clinic should have a well-organised framework for recording patient information, communicating with clients, creating personalised alerts, and gaining direct exposure to pet insurance datasets and processing payments. Cloud-based data gathering and analytics might be used to supplement veterinarian telemedicine software developed specifically for a certain practice.

Patient Tracking from a Distance

One essential aspect of veterinary telemedicine is remote patient monitoring (RPM), that allows doctors to remotely check on their patients by gathering data like vital signs. RPM may also be used by veterinarians to see whether their patients are following their orders.

Smart collars are only one example of a wearable gadget used in veterinary RPM that might be integrated with electronic medical record and electronic health record software for easy information transmission. These devices may provide in-depth analysis of your pet's vital signs, physical activities, and personality. There was an article in Veterinary Practice News on how clinicians may utilise pet wearable technology to diagnose illnesses before they were serious.

Apps tailored specifically for wearable devices, complete with integration of numerous data layer APIs, would be the work of a competent software development firm. The cloud-based information storage and processing capabilities would also allow this business to keep the wearable devices' back-end infrastructure running smoothly.

Scheduling and Reminders

Appointment scheduling would be a breeze with a veterinary customer relationship management system. An ideal piece of scheduling software would be compatible with both mobile and desktop operating systems. It might potentially be used with external calendar APIs to build a unique scheduling system.

Automated reminders, as well as cancellation and rescheduling options, may be sent by email or SMS modules. Veterinary clinics might benefit from centralised management by integrating the schedules of several staff members. A number of safeguards have been put in place to ensure that only authorised users have access to sensitive time-management functions.

Ability to Write Prescriptions Online

E-prescribing, or electronic prescribing, is when a doctor or other medical professional electronically transmits a prescription to a pharmacy. This helps reduce the time it takes to have a prescription filled.

Integration between e-prescription software and EMR/EHR databases allows for easy verification of patient identities. Incorporating a patient's medication history into clinical decision-support features would notify vets and pharmacists of potential drug interactions.

Medication management systems (MMS) can be enhanced with specialised e-prescription software by means of stock-tracking devices like regular barcode scanners. Brand-name and generic medications alike may be ordered automatically with the help of these resources.

Components Powered by Artificial Intelligence

It was said that AI has potential in the areas of diagnosis and veterinary medicine. The group also said that AI algorithms may be employed in radiological scans to detect and classify anomalies, which would expedite the process of treating very sick patients. Radiographic pictures acquired in veterinary medicine might be classified using machine learning, a branch of artificial intelligence. The group said this categorization scheme will be used in illness monitoring. In its most basic form, machine learning is a sophisticated kind of pattern recognition that allows computers to "learn" without being given any specific guidelines by a human. Therefore, pattern recognition technology may be used by software developers to improve veterinary telemedicine software with diagnostic capabilities.

Management Software for Veterinarian Offices

The increasing interest in veterinary telemedicine has resulted in a pressing need for effective software. By creating veterinary practice management software that incorporates telemedicine software, software firms might help veterinarian offices overcome obstacles.

Some of the most useful features include an electronic health records system, patient monitoring, appointment scheduling, e-prescribing capabilities, and artificial intelligence. In order to enable these functions, cloud-based data collecting and analytics capabilities would be implemented.

By offering safe, cloud-based software, software developers may attract more veterinarian clinics and hospitals as customers. Any software business interested in this market should contract the services of a reputable software development firm like SISGAIN, with expertise in the creation of veterinary telemedicine applications.

Transforming Healthcare with Custom Healthcare Software Development

In today’s digital age, healthcare organizations are constantly seeking innovative solutions to streamline operations, improve patient care, and ensure regulatory compliance. One of the most effective ways to achieve these goals is through custom healthcare software development. A tailored software solution designed to address the specific needs of a healthcare organization can drastically improve efficiency and enhance the overall quality of care. By partnering with a custom healthcare software development company, healthcare providers gain access to solutions that can be customized to their unique workflows and patient care models.

What is Custom Healthcare Software Development?

Custom healthcare software development involves designing and building software applications tailored to the specific needs of a healthcare organization. Unlike off-the-shelf software, custom solutions are built from the ground up with the end user's requirements in mind. This allows for greater flexibility and ensures that the software can address the unique challenges and processes specific to the healthcare provider.

Whether it’s developing an advanced electronic health record (EHR) system, a telemedicine platform, or a patient management tool, healthcare software development companies work closely with healthcare organizations to create solutions that not only meet current needs but are also scalable for future growth.

Why Choose Custom Healthcare Software?

Tailored Solutions: One of the most significant advantages of custom software is that it’s built to fit the exact needs of the organization. A custom healthcare software development company can design a system that aligns with the specific workflows, reporting requirements, and operational needs of the healthcare provider. This level of personalization simply isn’t possible with standard, off-the-shelf products.

Improved Patient Care: Custom healthcare software allows for seamless integration of different data sources, ensuring that providers have access to comprehensive patient information at all times. This is particularly important for healthcare providers that rely on data-driven decision-making to offer the best care. A healthcare software development company can incorporate real-time data collection, predictive analytics, and patient monitoring features that enhance care and support proactive interventions.
