Creating initial hospitalised clinical record

When you create the first clinical record for an admitted animal you need to select one of two pathways in VisionVPM. The path you take will be decided upon whether the animal was admitted via the appointment book or not. When an animal is admitted from an appointment, and a subsequent clinical record and invoice are created, VisionVPM will automatically display an icon, designating that there is an invoice linked to this appointment.

If you do not wish to see the invoice icon, or the animal does not have an appointment (for example, emergency case), you can select Option 1 below.

Option 1: Creating clinical record without appointment loaded

Use the path below if the animal has not come through the appointment book. For example, emergency case.

Go to: Clients menu > Admission List > select animal > Record.

Option 2: Creating clinical record via appointment book

Use the procedure below when the animal has had an appointment made for elective surgery.

Go to: Main menu > Appointment List > double-click appointment > Record.

Follow the instructions above in the Clinical records section above to create a clinical record.
