Instinct FAQ's
Instinct Updates 2/1/2024:
Good afternoon,
As a reminder that the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH) will be implementing a new electronic treatment system, Instinct, on Tuesday, February 6th. This change will apply to ALL hospitalized patients in Small Animal ICU and IMC and will replace the old Small Animal ICU flow sheets. Instinct will NOT replace the requirement to complete the Drug Administration Record (The Purple Sheet). Please continue to document controlled substances used and obtain witness documentation as normal.
Instinct is now accessible on all hospital computers, both in the small and large animal hospitals.
