Florida Veterinary College Adopts AI Scribe
The University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) in Gainesville has implemented a cutting-edge scribe platform powered by artificial intelligence (AI) for use throughout its veterinary facilities as well as in classroom settings. The university selected ScribbleVet for its proven accuracy, ease of use, and efficiency, providing a solution tailored for modern veterinary needs.
As the first educational institution to adopt the ScribbleVet platform system-wide for both veterinary facility operations and student engagement, co-founder and CEO Rohan Relan highlights the leap forward this integration represents in veterinary education.
The AI-driven digital scribe automates the recording of appointments and generates comprehensive SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) notes during patient examinations, enabling veterinarians to complete their clinical documentation in a fraction of the time previously required. This innovation is set to reclaim precious hours for patient care, considerably easing the administrative burden on veterinary professionals.
Andrea Miller, associate director of operations at the CVM, noted, “We chose ScribbleVet for its high accuracy and time-saving workflows, enabling clinicians to focus more on patient care while seamlessly incorporating AI into student training.” This collaboration underscores Texas A&M’s commitment to innovation in veterinary medicine, equipping future veterinarians with advanced technological tools, fostering improved diagnostics, and heightening care standards.
The integration of AI is not unprecedented for the University of Florida’s veterinary college. In 2023, the institution announced that its researchers had access to supercomputing and machine learning capabilities. These tools enabled them to apply AI techniques to address health issues such as uterine microbiota in dairy cows to prevent metritis and to develop microbiota tailored for canine dermatitis.
The partnership with ScribbleVet opens new avenues for enhancing educational practices, allowing students to explore how technology can minimize administrative tasks and maximize their focus on patient care. Relan stated, “We’re excited to assist the university in helping students understand how to leverage artificial intelligence to enhance their clinical practice.”
Moreover, ScribbleVet has integrated with LifeLearn, offering veterinary practices using its services direct access to differential diagnostics through the Sofie tool, a decision support mechanism designed to provide comprehensive answers to pet health inquiries while enhancing the detail within SOAP notes.
This collaboration ultimately aims to improve veterinary care and education, creating a future where advanced technologies play an integral role in the ongoing evolution of animal health and management.
