462. Tying the Knot: Effective Communication Between Surgery and Primary Veterinary Healthcare Team

As the veterinary landscape changes to include ever more sources of information—social media, digital media, multiple specialists, animal health paraprofessionals—it remains clear that having a good relationship between specialists and the primary care veterinary healthcare team is essential for the best surgical outcomes. Although there have been many structural changes to the way that veterinarians interact with their patients and clients, events over the past year have spurred a rapid adoption of these advancements across the industry. With these changes come new aspects of veterinarian-to-client and veterinarian-to-veterinarian relationships. This session will explore how the axis in medical decision making revolves around the interaction between primary and specialty care, especially about the efficacy and cost of tests and treatments available.
