Innovative new product launched by AT Veterinary Systems
Ultralink comes preloaded with a range of reports that can be amended or customised, and new reports can also be created.
Ultralink allows practices to monitor performance in real time 

An innovative new product for monitoring practice performance in real-time has been launched by AT Veterinary Systems.

Ultralink was introduced at BSAVA Congress last week (7-9 April) and promises to revolutionise the way performance data is monitored.

AT Veterinary Systems supports modern veterinary practices through the provision of state-of-the-art software. Its latest offering analyses practice data in real-time and produces live reports, allowing practices to constantly monitor their performance, respond to unforeseen challenges and proactively manage their service levels, efficiency, clinical performance and health care protocols.

Ultralink comes preloaded with a range of reports that can be amended or customised, and new reports can also be created. Integration with AT’s Spectrum DDS software allows reporting in areas such as sales, stock, appointments, microchipping, pet health parameters, reminders and insurance claims.

With over 35 methods of inputting, interacting with, processing and outputting data, Ultralink allows for an unlimited number of unique reports to be created. As a result, practices can make immediate changes to improve their performance.

BBC Radio 4 documentary addresses corporate fees

BBC Radio 4's File on 4 Investigates has released a documentary exploring how corporate-owned veterinary practices may be inflating bills to increase profit.

Released on 15 April, 'What's Happening To Your Vet Bills?' revealed the policies which many corporate groups have in place to increase their profits. This included targets and upgrades which veterinary teams are tasked with meeting on a regular basis.

It also features Anrich Vets, an independently-owned practice based in Wigan. Following the case of Staffordshire terrier Benjy, who is diagnosed with a tumour, the documentary shares how the team were able to offer contextualised care and advice to make the procedure as affordable as possible for his owners.

The documentary can be heard on demand on BBC iPlayer.
