V
Program Takes the Hassle out of VFD
ETERINARIANS HAVE ENOUGH ON THEIR PLATES. AND WITH the implementation of the veterinary feed direc-
tive (VFD) January 2017, their workload will increase. But a new tool just might pick up some slack and meet practitioners where they are — whether that’s the of- fi ce, truck, feedlot pens or pasture. Veterinarians are able to send electronic veterinary
feed directives from their desktop, tablet, or other mobile device using the simple interface provided by eVFD Solutions. Founder and Director Lauren Urbanczyk says she
worked with programmers to develop the tool because she believed there was a great need for a service that would take the burden off of the veterinarian. She says the greatest advantage eVFD Solutions offers is its fl exibility. “The entire industry is still trying to determine just
what ‘service’ is the most valuable,” Urbanczyk says. “Is it being able to generate VFDs from an iPad in the fi eld? Being able to organize, track, and store those VFDs? Having someone to help with data entry to log all of your customer data into the system so you can hit the ground running? As we all adapt to this new ruling, needs will change, but we are fl exible enough to adapt quickly.” Another advantage is a slimmed-down platform that
offers practitioners everything they need and nothing they don’t: Electronic VFDs and everything that entails. “We believe you should only pay for what you need,”
she says. “And as the needs of the industry grow, so will we.” Learn more at
