The pace of veterinary practice doesn’t slow for questions, interruptions, or bottlenecks. But when your whole team can lean on the same trusted clinical resources, it’s easier to keep cases moving, care consistent, and communication clear—even on the busiest days.
Standards of Care was built for this. Created by the team behind Plumb’s and Clinician’s Brief, it’s a clinical decision support tool designed for the realities of veterinary practice. More than a drug reference, Standards brings practical diagnostic and treatment guidance, client communication tools, and the prescribing power of Plumb’s into one easy-to-use platform.
And with a Practice Plan, you can make Standards available to your whole team so they get the guidance they need, right when and where they need it.
What’s Included in the Standards Practice Plan
The Practice Plan extends workstation access to your entire clinical team, so veterinarians can easily delegate lookups to technicians and keep patient care moving without bottlenecks. It also gives your client service representatives direct access to handouts, making it simple to print or share trusted take-home instructions with pet owners.
Here’s what’s included in a Standards of Care Practice Plan.
Team-Wide Access
Access from any shared workstation, with no login needed, and get mobile app licenses for your clinicians to keep trusted guidance at their fingertips.
Clinical Guidance for Everyday Care
The clinical information in Standards of Care is developed with the spectrum of care in mind, so your team can get practical support for the cases they see every day, with diagnostic and treatment guidance they can adapt to each patient and client.
Expert-Written Decision Support
Expert-written, peer-reviewed differential lists, algorithms, clinical monographs, and (soon!) step-by-step procedure guides help the care team work through tricky cases quickly and confidently.
Plumb’s Built In
With Plumb’s built into Standards, your team can access continually updated drug monographs, an interaction checker, and client handouts in English and Spanish.
Practical Client Handouts
Standards also includes a growing library of easy-to-understand client handouts on common conditions, procedures, and preventive care to strengthen communication and reduce callbacks.
Continual Updates
Keep your team moving with the latest guidance and updates from the research so they can feel confident in every decision.
