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.
This flag indicates that when this request is sent with other requests for the same catalog, it should be pulled out as an individual request. For example, requests such as digital X-rays can leave this flag turned off and include all the catalog items on the same request, as they can be performed in quick succession once a patient is sedated. However, a request such as an MRI might need to have it turned on to pull it out from the X-ray items or other MRI items as each catalog item takes more time to perform. Ultimately it will be up to each hospital request unit to determine if a request needs to be separated. Items from different catalogs will always be separated. | |
Item Can be pre-ordered | This flag indicates that a DVM can request the item prior to the patient being checked in. This may be ideal for certain procedures where a time has to be reserved before the patient arrives, such as anesthesiology followed immediately by a scheduled surgery. Auto added charges will be delayed until the patient is checked in and the order is opened. |
DVM Required to order | This flag indicates that a DVM must be the one to order this request. Use this on catalog items that students, staff, or techs/nurses should not order on their own, such as surgeries or procedures. |
Approval Required to Order | This flag indicates that while a student or tech can request the item, it must go through an additional approval process from a supervising DVM before the request can be submitted to the receiving unit. |
Add Charges to Client Bill When (Submitted or Accepted) | If Submitted is selected, any auto-add charges will be placed on the bill the moment the request is added to the episode. If Accepted is selected, then billing will be delayed until the Request unit reviews the request and accepts it. |

This section was previously called Digital Document Setup. It has been merged into the Catalog Item Setup page in 5.0. Previously, Digital Document Elements were shared among all documents. In 5.0 we have changed it so each Digital Document Element is unique to each document. |
Report elements in VetView 5.0 are “what you see is what you get” or WYSIWYG style. This allows you to visually add, remove, and modify elements directly on the report, and have an immediate understanding of how each element will display.
Items can be dragged from the Palette section and dropped directly onto the Report Display panel.
Additional element attributes and modifiers are available on the Properties tab for that panel.

Report Display | This section is where you can build out the Document or Request report using the Digital Document Elements. Elements will display exactly as they will be printed on the report, so this section functions as a mini preview as well. |
Internal Labs Setup
New in 5.0, VetView now allows for the direct linking of VetView Labs catalog items to VetView Hospital catalog items.
On the Catalog Items list, items that do not have a link will appear with an alert icon to indicate that the link has not been established.
...
On the Internal Lab Setup tab, these items will show the Catalog Code that was entered in a previous version of VetView, and a suggested Lab Test that matches that code, if any.
...
Click on the name of the Suggested Test Lab Catalog Item to formally establish a hard link between this Hospital Catalog Item and the corresponding VetView Lab Catalog Item.
Once the link is established, the Internal Labs Setup tab will display the imported information from the Labs Catalog.
...
This link can be removed or changed at any time.
Add New Product
If this is a brand new Hospital Catalog Item with no corresponding Lab Catalog Item, clicking on the Add button will option a short window to search for and add a new Lab Catalog item to this Hospital Product. You can also add additional Lab Catalog Items if you want to create a Hospital Catalog item that is a panel of multiple catalog items from the labs, when they don’t have a matching panel on their side of the system yet.
Search for new tests by key word. Only Lab tests from the same linked internal lab as the catalog are available in this drop down menu.
...
Create Mapping to a different product and/or price update options
If the metadata for the Lab Product is correct, but the Lab informs you that they have a new product number due to internal lab catalog rearrangement, you can change the link from the current product to a new product without changing anything else using this button, or change the price links and override the Lab Product settings.

Add | Opens a window to add a new Lab Catalog item to the Internal Labs Setup tab. |

No Auto Update of Unit Price (Labs Catalog Dynamic Only) | If this warning appears next to the Unit Cost / Unit Price line, it indicates that the corresponding Lab Catalog is not linked to an inventory item with an Auto Update flag turned on. This price will stay static until the Lab changes it themselves. |
