VetView Header Buttons and Main Hospital Screens

VetView Header Navigation

At the top of every screen in VetView, there is a header bar that contains shortcuts to the most frequently used screens in our Hospital system. This page will explain what each of the shortcuts are in detail.

Privileges Will Hide Buttons

For users who have limited access in the system, the Header Bar will not display all the buttons. For example, if a user does not have the privilege to access Accounting, it will not appear on the bar.

	Schedule Screen	Loads the Schedule screen. Appointments for both new and existing patients can be created on this screen, but we strongly recommend that new patients begin on the Admission screen prior to creating the appointment. Both Appointment and Admission screen can be accessed from each other, alongside each patient's record.

New Orders should be created from the Patient Record or other screens that interact with the billing module when appropriate. Estimates are created on the Admission screen and the patient record.
