VADDS is a comprehensive disease and diagnostic lab system designed exclusively for animal laboratory management. It is NOT a human lab system with features for animal labs, but a system designed with animal diagnostic labs to specifically meet the present and future needs of an animal laboratory.

Advanced Technology Corporation has specialized in the veterinary industry for over twelve years. In addition to VADDS, ATC produces the most advanced veterinary hospital management system available today, called VETSTAR. VADDS serves the needs of labs of all sizes, and is also fully integrated to VETSTAR to provide institutions with the first fully integrated lab and hospital management system in the world. This is particularly appropriate for university teaching hospitals and diagnostic labs that also maintain animal care facilities.

VADDS is a real time computer system which automates all areas of the lab including; gross pathology, histopathology, serology, virology, bacteriology, mycology, toxicology, clinical pathology, and can accommodate any additional lab as the system is designed using a USER DEFINED RELATIONAL DATABASE. VADDS accommodates analysis of disease among animals both individually and in herds, flocks, etc., and is the only system in the world, which uses a true taxonomy table for determining the scientific classification of animals and organisms. This allows you to set testing criteria and research based on family, class, strain, species, breed or any other taxonomy category you establish in the taxonomy table.

Additionally, VADDS has extensive statistical reporting capabilities, as well as, retrospective searches of lab results. An optional fully integrated accounting system is available which includes: General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Purchase Order and Inventory. A report writer is available for generation of custom user defined reports. VADDS operates with either Oracle, SQL Server or Pro-ISAM databases. VADDS interfaces to lab instruments using sophisticated WINDOWS based software. Auto-faxing of case reports, test reports and other reports is also supported. A remote login module allows referring veterinarians and other interested parties access to the system to review case status, This is controlled with an elaborate security structure to insure proper usage.

Who Benefits from VADDS?
VADDS provides a much needed in-depth laboratory support solution to help with diagnoses and study of animal diseases. The system benefits local veterinarians, food production interests, companion animal interests, and State-Federal animal disease regulatory officials. Quick result reporting, allows the veterinarians to treat his or her individual animal, or herd, with the most effective treatment in the least amount of time. This fast turn around time gives the lab a quality reputation and distinguishes it from other labs.

Additionally, the VADDS integrated accounting system provides each lab with complete financial information about their operation. This results in two significant impacts on lab activity, namely: expense reduction and improved productivity.

Flexibility
Vadds is designed to meet the changing requirements of the modern laboratory and  can be enhanced as these requirements change (which is happening at an ever increasing rate). VADDS allows you to manage your laboratory in the way that is most beneficial to you and your clients! You do not have to conform your lab to fit the system, the design of the VADDS database accommodates expanding the system as your needs change.

Easy to use A computer system must be easy for you and your staff to learn and use. VADDS was designed with this in mind. Windows are provided for quick look up of information.
