Case Study: Swedesboro Animal Hospital achieves paperless, streamlined operations with VIA Veterinary Information Systems

Going Paperless While Preparing for the Future

Swedesboro Animal Hospital (and sister Tri‑State Animal Emergency Center), an 8‑doctor, 24‑hour practice in southern New Jersey, faced mounting paper records, fragmented diagnostic access, and the need for integrated task and business‑center management to support future growth. To solve this, they chose VIA Veterinary Information Systems’ SQL‑based practice management software to replace paper files, enable iPad/laptop access, and centralize workflows across multiple clinical divisions.

VIA Veterinary Information Systems implemented a full digital solution — scanning ~20,000 files into the system, deploying an electronic whiteboard, iPad check‑in and payment, voice‑recognition note entry, and integrations with Idexx, Antech and Sound‑Eklin plus a modern inventory module. The practice went paperless within one month, expects six‑figure inventory savings in the first year, gained faster access to images and records, streamlined operations, and attributes part of its AAHA Top‑5 Practice of the Year recognition to VIA.
