Veterinary information system to nationally monitor health and welfare of animals and prevent proliferation of disease

TRNAVA, SLOVAKIA, February 11, 2010 – YMS Group sucessfully implemented its specialised Veterinary Information System for the State Veterinary and Food Administration to transform its approach to monitoring and management of health and welfare of livestock on farms and modernise the work of veterinary practitioners.

Veterinary Information System (VIS) is YMS Group’s data integration and graphic information solution developed specifically for state veterinary and food administration bodies. It integrates data from a variety of existing systems and sources into one user interface and allows every authorised member of the veterinary health team (including state employees, veterinary doctors and farmers with livestock) to access it from any location via an internet browser.

VIS contains data on farm operations, livestock origin, health and transportation routes, information on veterinary activity of contracted practitioners, a log of infectious disease outbreaks and steps taken to contain them.

„The VIS has helped our large and geographically scattered organisation to acquire a single point of access to an enormous amount of data from around the country. It has also simplified an array of routine operations for many state veterinary employees and for hundreds of contracted veterinary doctors working on livestock farms,“ said MVDr Janiuk, Director of Animal Health Section of the State Veterinary and Food Administration.

The VIS is used as a mobile veterinary electronic office by veterinary practitioners. It creates personal operation plans and checks their execution in time. It includes automatic data update, standardised catalog of veterinary operations, personal stock administration and automatic calculation and dispatch of monthly invoices. The VIS is enhanced by a modern online laboratory section, through which doctors access results of requested laboratory tests after these are put into the system by the laboratory staff.

The VIS coprehensively processes data on infectious diseases of livestock. Infected farms are displayed in GIS and automatically transfered into „protection zone“. The State Veterinary and Administration instantly identifies and monitors outbreaks of infectious diseases and quickly detects similar problems in different farms. This allows for faster and more efficient decisions about steps to contain them.

The VIS is linked with international information systems ADNS and TRACES, which makes it an important player in international prevention from proliferation of infectious veterinary diseases.
