Veterinary practices rely on their practice management software to connect nearly every part of the business, from medical records and prescriptions to billing, inventory, and client communication. But when that software operates within a closed ecosystem, teams may be limited to the tools their vendor chooses, even when better options are available. The result can be duplicate data entry, inefficient workarounds, higher costs, and technology that does not fully support the way a practice works.
In a new article for Today’s Veterinary Business, Instinct Science founder and CEO Caleb Frankel, VMD, explains why open APIs should become the standard across veterinary software. By allowing secure connections between different platforms, open APIs give veterinary teams more control over their technology, encourage developers to build better products, and make it easier for practices to choose the tools that best support their patients, people, and workflows.
