Communication Worklist Screen
The Communication Worklist is a central location in VetView to monitor, view, and control the automatic medical record communications that fire upon scheduled events, such as patient check-in or document approval. A client coordinator or another staff member who has been designated to review these communications can confirm that the information is complete and accurate before sending it to an owner or RDVM. Note that these scheduled communications are different from Patient Reminders, which occur based on product triggers, or Scheduled Appointment Reminders, which occur based on upcoming appointments. Clinical staff may also have the option to manually send certain communications directly from the patient record when appropriate.
Search For Communication
The top part of this screen contains two sets of fields for narrowing down the list of communications in the system. If you click the Search button without a limiter, it will load all communications that have been sent, past and present, which may not be useful. Narrow down your search results depending on what task you are trying to accomplish to load only the communications that matter.

This section looks for communications based on the hospital episode, patient, or unit associated with the communication.
