This paper reviews the current state of veterinary electronic health records and the capacity to aggregate and analyze large datasets across organizations. It highlights analytic techniques, particularly natural language processing and machine learning, relevant to veterinary and human medicine. Key challenges include limited training data, siloed information, and inconsistent data formats, but advancements have been made in recent years. The authors emphasize the growing importance of veterinary informatics in advancing veterinary, human, and One Health initiatives.
