Magical Metrics and Dazzling Data:
How Medical Fact-Finding Guides Shelters to Improved Animal Health

On March 8, 2012, at 9-PM East-coast USA time, Dr. Jan Scarlett, Director of Maddie’s® Shelter-Medicine Program
at Cornell Univ College of Vet-Medicine, will teach participants about the collection & use of medical data
in animal shelters, & how this can significantly improve the health of individual animals & the shelter population.

Attendees will also learn how shelter data can:
* Identify disease outbreaks
* Monitor disease trends over time
* Evaluate the effectiveness of changes in disease management protocols
* Identify groups at high risk of disease
* Identify high risk periods for disease in shelters
* Correlate disease with shelter census, length of stay & shelter location
