SANDI - Send Reports to Clients, rDVM, etc.

When a patient is registered, a report titled “Visit Report” will automatically be created. A visit report should be created for all patient visits including suture removal, bandage changes, and visits where the patient dies. The only exceptions are lab work only (where the patient is not seen), and outpatient imaging. The patient visit report is printed for the owner at the time of discharge and is sent to the rDVM. This document explains how to access the Reports and view/send them to clients, rDVM, etc.

Important: The visit/discharge report is to be electronically sent to the rDVM (if one is noted) at the time of discharge in either draft or finalized form.  If a draft report is sent at patient discharge, the finalized report is to be sent electronically to the rDVM within three (3) business days by the attending clinician. Please see  the following VTH Policy for more information: VTH Policy #MR208, Referring Veterinarian (rDVM) Communication
