MOVEH encourages clients to get a referral from veterinarian. Communication between the veterinarian and MOVEH helps provide comprehensive medical care to clients pets. The veterinarian has the pet’s complete medical record and can relay important information about the pet’s medical history. MOVEH can set up an appointment if the veterinarian refers clients during regular business hours, Monday through Saturday (service dependent). If required, the veterinarian will send any diagnostics either online or with the client for the first appointment. In consultation with the client and the veterinarian, the specialist will devise a diagnostic and treatment plan specific to the pet’s condition.

Giving clients plenty of time to come to this decision is important, also giving them time to take everything in and speak about there concerns and emotions.
“It depends on where people work usually, but the workers come in and check the pets that are in hospital that need additional care. Then in some way, workers have checklists for each hospitalized pet, so if they need medications, bandage changes, etc, workers can then keep track easier. Then workers go on to do medication for any animals that are boarding with the clinic in kennels. After that they check in pets that are coming for surgery or for a drop off exam/treatment.... ... middle of paper ...

When owners take their pets to the clinic, they are understandably anxious about the results and outcome of the visit. While it’s the veterinarian's job to provide care for the animal, it’s also their job to put the owners at ease, reassuring them that their pet will indeed be fine. This communication is vital for building trust, as it lets the owner know what is happening to their animal and gives them confidence in believing that everything will be okay. What’s more, veterinarians that take the time to thoroughly explain procedures and instructions regarding petcare, are teaching pet owners how to better tend to their
Despite this active media sharing, the association has fewer than 150 followers. More followers must be generated to build a dedicated group of people to lobby for the cause. The organization disappoints in that it does not post any announcements about current or upcoming happenings for supporters to see. On the positive side, a link to the website can be obtained for online surfers to find out more information. VETSPACE’s social media only has room for improvement in the quest for broadening community awareness and support

Social media is affecting all spheres of life and no profession is left untouched by the impact of social media and nursing profession is no exception. Nobody can deny the benefits of social media for the profession of nursing yet its disadvantages for the registered nurses and student nurses during clinical practice cannot be ignored. “Social media can be defined as the constellation of internet-based tools that help a user to connect, collaborate, and communicate with others in real time” (Ressler & Glazer, 2010). Social media is growing at a very rapid rate and is now the mainstream communication method for most of the global population (http://www.internetworldstats.com/facebook.htm). It has brought a tremendous revolution in communication and disseminating information to nurses round the world.
In today’s era, social networking is seen to be very important and useful for interaction between people. In the term of healthcare, social media is involving very rapidly and it seems to be very useful for both, for healthcare professionals and for patients as well, but we all know that ‘THERE ARE TWO SIDES OF EVERY COIN’, so there is no doubt that social media is playing vital role in healthcare but it has dark side too.
It is important for employees to know how to social network in order to allow companies to connect with each other. Social media can be beneficial for healthcare providers because it builds communities among other healthcare employers with employees, staff, patients and programs as they can discuss strategies and can also be a good tool for marketing. Risks from using social media include issues in terms of privacy if not used correctly. Patient information cannot be posted and must be withheld in a proper manner. Employers run the risk of having their company be seen poorly. In order for the benefits of social media to outweigh the risks, companies should take certain steps. They must first assemble a strong team of people and must discuss the use of social media in terms of different perspectives. They must set regulations and limitations such as limited use of the internet at work. They must create a policy that is adaptable to the current generation as well as future generations and must train all employees to be aware of this policy that will help health care providers as well as employees and patients.
Who would you trust about your new pet, the veterinarian or the hobbyist? With contact to the vast amount of info on the internet, I decided to discover that for myself. I will be researching the basic care of the “Axolotl”, an aquatic salamander.. In my exploration, I came across two distinct websites on the same topic concerning amphibians. The authors of both sites are individually deemed front-runners in their field of care. Our authors are Dr. Lianne McLeod, a veterinarian, and John Clare a hobbyist/breeder. Both of which I will relate and contrast. When it comes to the direct care of an uncommon pet, I believe it’s best to go with a qualified expert.
and family, and also “meet like-minded people” ( Metz, par. 1). In some cases, business people such as Ron West, claim that he uses Facebook “to become acquainted with new customers”( par. 8). Yes, these types of websites are great tools to stay in touch with old classmatesand faraway family members. It is a great source of communication, but there is always a con to every pro. Even though users are connecting with others, users of social networks never know exact...

When it comes to social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube, nobody wants to think about the negative effects it has on patients. Brian Cayko, the director of clinical education in the respiratory care program at Great Falls College, Montana State University in Great Falls, Montana argues that social media makes it easier for patients. When a patient is not able to acquire care at the medical facility, they can get in touch with their respiratory therapist with the use of social media sites. Cayko also states that social media sites can be helpful as “educational resources, patient support and social and professional networking.” I think that Cayko knows that everyone must remember the negative things about social media and the internet, with the understanding that just because it’s on the web doesn’t mean that it is the truth. No, not everything is wrong with social media sites, I am involved in social media sites myself; however, personally I know that when it comes to an occupation especially in the medical field, you have to be more aware of the negatives than the
In this day and age, many individuals simply cannot go without some sort of socialization. Specifically speaking, most participate in online social networking sites. The most popular and used one is commonly known as Facebook. Facebook was created in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg. By 2007, Facebook had over 21 million users, adding up to 1.6 billion page views every single day. The typical user spends over twenty minutes per day on Facebook and two thirds of the users log in every day at least once. It is not questionable as to why many people have a Facebook account. Facebook is generally efficient, easy for socialization, and not difficult to manage. Most organizations are affiliated with Facebook, as “almost 22,000 organizations had Facebook directories,” as of November 2006. A year after that in 2007, Facebook was named the seventh most popular website (Ellison 1). However, with anything well known, many oppose to using Facebook and hold criticism against the popular network. There are many flaws in the website and the relationships it starts online. Facebook is risking dangerous activities, ignoring privacy laws, and demeaning healthy socialization.
