Admission Screen
The Admission Screen in VetView has two parts: The Admission Search Screen and the individual Pre-Admission Screen or PA screen that is created for every episode for a patient.
Admission Search Screen
The Admission Search Screen is accessed by clicking on the Admission button on the header bar.
This screen has two sections: The Admission Search options at the top, and the Search Results at the bottom. You can also create a New Admission by clicking on the button at the very top.
Admission Search Parameters
All of the search parameters can be used in conjunction with one another. For example, you can search for a specific PA if you know the patient's case number and the date. Or you can search for a cluster of episodes, such as all the canines that were seen in the year 2020, or all the currently open episodes for one particular unit. The total count of episodes appears in the upper right hand corner of the Search Results. This search screen is also helpful for research when identifying episodes for patients based on keyword, breed, etc.

New Admission / Pre-Admission Screen
A shortcut to a new PA screen is holding the Alt key and then clicking on the Admission icon on the header bar. A small green plus sign appears on this icon to indicate it will jump straight to a new admission and bypass the admission search screen.
