PHILADELPHIA, PA — Instinct Science announced that the Cornell University Hospital for Animals (CUHA) has implemented its Instinct Treatment Plan, a cloud-based platform designed to streamline veterinary care through automation, real-time coordination, and integrated safety tools.
The partnership marks a major step in modernizing clinical operations within one of the nation’s most respected veterinary teaching hospitals. By replacing manual methods such as clipboards, whiteboards, and fragmented software systems, the platform provides a centralized hub for managing patient care, ensuring consistency, and reducing errors.
“Cornell’s adoption of Instinct Treatment Plan reflects the shift we’re seeing in leading veterinary institutions toward unified, intelligent systems that help teams deliver safer, more efficient care,” said Elliott Garber, VMD, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Instinct Science. “We’re honored to work with such a respected teaching hospital in shaping the future of clinical operations.”
The system offers several key features aimed at improving accuracy and efficiency. Real-time treatment sheets allow staff to track tasks by hour, while automatic charge capture ensures billing precision without manual reconciliation. Integrated with Plumb’s Veterinary Drugs database, dose calculators, and safety alerts, the platform helps teams catch potential errors before they affect patients.
Susan Ruland, interim director of CUHA, said the integration supports the hospital’s mission of advancing veterinary care through innovation. “Our hospital is committed to advancing patient care by adopting the most efficient and seamless systems in the field,” she said.
For both organizations, the collaboration represents an ongoing effort to leverage technology to enhance safety, communication, and the overall standard of care in veterinary medicine.
