Referral Partner Electronic Portals

To help streamline access and clinical information sharing with our referring veterinarian partners, the Veterinary Medical Center offers three online portals:

The rVetLink portal allows for electronic referrals of your patients to and the sharing of patient information with our specialty hospitals’ service areas. The CoreOne laboratory portal offers convenient and easy access to our clinical pathology and anatomic pathology labs, without having to call, email or fax. Our VetRocket teleradiology portal provides a faster means to get digital images to a radiologist for interpretation and back out to the practitioner to assist with case management.

The rVetLink portal is available for eReferrals and medical records information sharing between your practice and the VMC hospitals. If you already have log in credentials for the portal, please access the portal here.  Please remember to use the practice email address and not your individual email address to log in. 

If it is your first visit to the portal, please refer to the e-mail Welcome Letter that was sent to your practice with initial log in information.  We have provided a video tutorial to assist with using the portal, as well as a downloadable pdf.
