The purpose of the VetView Admissions System is to allow you to create pre-admissions, link patients to clients and RDVMs, schedule appointments, and attach any relevant information for the upcoming visit to the patient's record in the PA section.
The PA information that is captured feeds into the Patient Record. Once the patient has been checked in, the Pre-Admission process is considered closed, and all further changes associated with the episode will continue to take place on the Patient Record instead.
Minimum Information Need to make a new admission
VetView's systems are designed around patients. The minimum information needed to make a pre-admission on the Admission screen is the patient name and species, the owner's name, the hospital unit, type of appointment, and the Main Reason for the appointment.
The Attending clinician is not required at the time of PA creation, but must be assigned before the patient can be checked in. (Attending clinicians can be auto assigned via the schedule as of VetView 2.0 to streamline this process.)
