Description
Private veterinarians, most of whom work from small independent clinical practices, are a critical link in maintaining appropriate use of the antibiotics, hormones, and other pharmaceuticals that are vital to the health and welfare of livestock. VCPR.ORG will develop and demonstrate feasibility of an Internet-based tool set designed to help those practitioners serve their clients and protect public health, as well as guarding the health and welfare of the nation's livestock. The system will be voluntary, and protect the privacy of the veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR). Future developments may include links to additional medical and regulatory resources and collection of anonymized data.
