Eklin Premiers New Tiered Via® Practice Information Software Solutions at Annual AAHA Conference
Industry Leader Offers Economical, Upgradeable Data Management Software for Veterinary Care Based on Open Standards Architecture
Santa Clara, Calif. - March 25, 2009 - Eklin Medical Systems, a leading provider of digital radiography (DR), ultrasound, PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications Systems) and practice management software (VIA®) for veterinary care, is showcasing its new tiered VIA software solutions at the annual American Animal Hospital Association conference being held in Phoenix, March 27 - 28, 2009. Designed to fit a wide variety of veterinary practices, VIA is based on open standards architecture that is easily upgradeable to meet the growth and changing needs of a practice.
"We realize these are very difficult economic times and completely understand the need to economize," said Steve Strittmatter, vice president, Eklin Information Systems. "We also know that a quick, cheap fix today may not be the safest decision for tomorrow, especially when it pertains to something as crucial as the practice management software backbone. This is why we designed VIA to be a solid foundation that can grow with the changing needs of a practice at an affordable price."
The new tiered VIA offering includes VIA Express, a basic solution for new and other small practices; VIA Elite, designed for larger practices to pick and choose modules needed, and: VIA Enterprise, providing fully integrated data management solutions throughout large general and multi-specialty practices. The VIA platform is upgradeable with a number of modules, such as electronic hospitalization whiteboards and treatment flow sheets. Automatic SOAP note billing and resource scheduling are also available. Complete integration of lab results, digital images and billing data into patient records makes lost charges a thing of the past and enhanced patient care routine.
"With the new tiered VIA solutions, a practice can economize now and feel secure about the future," said Strittmatter. "The practice can choose one solution for today, yet know a foundation for growth is built-in from the beginning. VIA's open standards architecture allows an easy upgrade path, eliminating the need to start over when the practice outgrows the basic practice management software solution selected in the beginning."
