Overview
The Zoetis reference lab Integration streamlines the diagnostic process by enabling veterinary practices to electronically submit lab orders and receive results directly within the DaySmart Vet platform. This integration enhances efficiency by reducing manual data entry, minimizing errors, and ensuring faster access to critical lab information. Results are automatically linked to the patient’s medical record, making it easy to track, review, and manage diagnostics for improved patient care and workflow efficiency.
A Zoetis account needs to be established before the integration can be enabled.
