2009 CVM News: Combined service leverages complete knowledge base
This news item is about: The Neurology and Pain Management services at the Cornell University Hospital for Animals (CUHA) have combined efforts to ensure comprehensive care, from pre-operative diagnosis to post-operative, rehabilitative care. “The combined services ensure that patients recover as quickly as possible,” said Dr. William Horne, hospital director. “Patients receive tremendous value when services are integrated and communication flows freely among doctors.” This communication, Horne said, begins with the referring veterinarians. “The best outcomes grow from the situations where all who know the animal share their expertise. The communication doesn’t end when patients return to their referring veterinarian. CUHA doctors are available to answer follow-up questions as needed.”
