Add

Opens up a blank Catalog Item screen.

Edit

Opens up the Catalog Item screen for the selected item.

Delete

Opens up a Delete/Merge dialog box for the selected catalog item. If a catalog item was never used on a patient record, it can be deleted. Otherwise, you will need to merge it with an existing catalog item to avoid breaking the links between Catalog Items and patients.

Note: If you only want to prevent the Catalog item from being used going forward, it is better to set it as Inactive to preserve the historical data.

Label

The name of the Document, Request, or Internal Lab item as it will appear within VetView.

Description

A more detailed description of the Catalog Item, if needed.

Catalog

The Catalog that this item belongs to. This can be changed, but will alter the rest of the parameters. It may be better to duplicate the Catalog Item first if you want to move it to a new catalog to avoid losing data.

Catalog Type

Indicates whether the Catalog that this item belongs to is a Document, Request, or Internal Lab.

Unit

Displays the unit that this Catalog belongs to.

Medical Record Group

Allows you to select where this Document, Request, or Internal Lab appears on the Patient Record. Medical Record Groups are managed under Hospital Setup.

Report Override

Indicates that this catalog item should have a special report template associated with it, instead of the VetView default. Leave this blank unless you have already created a special purpose report.

Active Flag

This checkbox controls whether the Catalog Item is visible in the rest of the system to add to patient records. If this flag is turned off, all historical versions of the document will remain intact, but the Catalog Item is no longer available to add.

Requires Verification

This checkbox indicates that the Document or Request must be verified before it can be released to a Client or RDVM. (This option does not apply to Internal Labs, whose results go through a separate Finalization process.)

Spay/Neuter Patient

This checkbox indicates that if the document or request is added to a patient record, the patient will have been spayed or neutered by the time the episode is Discharged. This will trigger the patient’s Sex to change according to the Sex Setup settings. (For example, a male animal will change to male neutered automatically.)

Display Time

This displays the time that the document, request, or internal lab was added on the header on the patient record.

Due Dates (child of Display Time)

If this flag is checked, the document can have a due date set. This is recommended for student documents such as SOAPs, or for any document or request that should be completed within a certain time frame of being added. Note that these due dates are separate from the MAR prescription deadlines, which are handled in their own system.

Show “Draft” Watermark until:

Since Documents do not have as tight a workflow as Requests, the document may become available on the patient portal immediately, or sent out to RDVMs as a preliminary report. This gives you the option to show a “draft” notice on the document until an additional step is taken, such as verification or discharge.

Update Lab Question

This option will automatically pull in the Lab Questions that were created by the VetView Lab for this Catalog Item, even if they change in the future.

Charges for Lab Tests Set By:

This allows you to choose how the Lab Charge for this Hospital item will be defined. If your Hospital charges a single flat fee for the test, you can have it set by the Hospital Catalog (static) and then add the charge on the Charges section. Or you can have the fees automatically added by the Lab Charge on the VetView lab side, to capture any price changes from the labs automatically.
