The hard coded types are: Assigned People, Pre-Admission, Labs, Imaging, SOAPs, Vitals / TPRs, Medication, Diagnosis, and Billing. You will only need one of each type for your medical record to function properly. You can add additional types for related documents to those categories, or you can keep the documents within the same category if you wish. For example, you can create documents to be stored in your Assigned People (Personnel) category for field services that require additional travel forms, or you can create a custom document section called Travel Forms. |

This screen only controls the available categories for all medical records. You can customize the categories used on each individual type of episode on the /wiki/spaces/IWIKI/pages/28344355 tab. |
Add Med Rec Category
To create a new category, click on the Add Med Rec Category button.
To create a new category, click on the Add Med Rec Category button.
A window to build out the settings for your new category will open.
Order on the Patient Record
The Move Up / Move Down arrows allow you to rearrange how the categories will appear on your patient records and on the Hospital Portal.
For example, if pre-admissions should always come before all other documents, you can set them to be at the very top on this screen.
Many categories will not appear on the patient record until a request has been put in for documents or services of that type. For example, Imaging will not display unless you have either requested Imaging be done for the patient, or if the Episode Type has the Imaging category always turned on.

Video Tutorial: Medical Record Transfer Reasons
VetView allows for users to track the movements of physical copies of the medical records via the Medical Record Transfer Screen.
To allow your hospital to customize the locations and reasons for this movement, VetView allows you to add and deactivate the "reasons" for transfer.
To add a new Transfer reason, click on the Add button and enter the information.

The Medical Record Tracking screen is where users can check physical records in and out your records department. The Medical Record Management screen is where users can print records, view the contents of episodes, and process them against requirements for their episode type. The physical location of your record is independent from the internal VetView documentation. In the event that a record is misplaced or lost or destroyed, the record can be recreated from Medical Records Management by printing out the individual episodes. |

Click on the Add button to create a new method, or the Edit button to alter an existing method.
Once added, these methods will be available on the Communication Worklist on the patient record.

The Problem Setup section allows you to link to a custom Value List to force users to choose from a set of pre-established master problems, but also allows you to turn on a Free Text option to let students or clinicians bypass the value list.
Turn the check box off to force users to pull Master Problems only from the pre-established value list.
The value list for your Problems is customized under the Value List setup in Catalog Setup.

folders" instead each patient record. The episode is split into these categories. Some categories are hard coded, such as personnel and diagnosis. Other sections can be added and adjusted to match your digital document structure. This section also allows you to display or hide each section of the medical record from the Hospital Portal.
Add Medical Record CategoryClick on the Add Med Rec Category button to start creating a new section on patient records.
The Medical record categories can be sorted on the patient record using the Move Up and Move Down buttons. (Sorts may not be immediately visible when the category is first added and will require a reload of the page.) Select the line you want to adjust and move it relative to the other parts of the record. Since only categories included in the base episode type are immediately visible for a new visit, the sort will only impact new categories that are added as the episode progresses. This list is also mirrored on the left hand panel of the patient record, which includes the episode date filters as well as the category filters. Medical Record Transfer ReasonsThis section pertains to the physical Medical Record that is stored in your hospital records department. Under Medical Record Tracking, you can have a custom specified reason for a user to take out a medical record, such as for a research project. VetView allows you the flexibility to set these reasons as individual service areas as the location where it will be temporarily stored, or any other reason you might find necessary to check out a physical record.
Add a new Transfer ReasonClick on the Add button to create a new transfer reason. Enter in the Reason, and a detailed description. Click on Save to add the reason. It will immediately become available on the Medical Record Tracking screen once saved.
Reasons that will no longer be necessary can be set as Inactive. While these reasons cannot be deleted (to preserve historical data), inactive reasons will disappear from the Tracking screen going forward. Comm Log SetupThis section allows you to create a new Mode of Communication on the patient record. As technology changes and you want to experiment with your communication options, you can add the new options into VetView. For example, if you want to try using Facebook Messenger service, it could be added as a communication type here.
Add New Communication TypeClick on the Add button to create a new mode of communication. Enter in the name of the new method, and click on Save.
The new mode of communication will become available on the Communication Log on the patient record.
Discharge SetupVetView allows you to customize your Discharge statuses to match your hospital's workflows. The Discharge status is also tied in to certain automated events, and one of those triggers is an automatic deceased date if your patient is discharged under a deceased status. (Discharge can also trigger an automated sex change, but that is tied into a Document with that feature turned on, not the Discharge Status itself.)
Add a new Discharge StatusClick on the Add button to add a new Discharge status.
TPR SetupAlthough VetView does not allow for customization of the TPR layout on the medical record, you can customize the minimum and maximum accepted values, and add notes regarding each of the values. This can be useful from a teaching perspective for students who may not be familiar with the normal ranges for these, and it can also prevent errors made by typos.
Problem SetupThe Problem setup tab allows you to set the Value List (from the Value List setup under Catalog Setup) that Problems can be pulled from. You can also give the option to allow problems to be "free text" rather than only from the Value List that you set.
