Visit record

The visit record for one patient: vitals with a flagged temperature, per-system findings, assessment and plan, and the follow-up booking form

The visit record is the appointment and the chart fused into one document — what you hand the client at the desk, scan into the file, or read to the locum who covers tomorrow. It exists whether or not the visit was charted yet; an empty visit prints as an empty record.

Getting there

What is on it

1. Signalment — name, species, breed, sex, age, today's weight, generated from the patient record. Every patient on the visit appears; a visit can cover more than one animal.

2. Vitals — the structured numbers with the species norm next to each one, and `high` / `low` marked. A flagged value is a prompt to re-check, not a diagnosis.

3. Head to toe — the per-system rows exactly as recorded, in the order the species is examined. Blank rows are not printed.

4. Assessment and Plan — signed or draft; the record says which.

5. Given during this visit — vaccines recorded on the visit with lot numbers and recall dates.

6. Prescriptions and files — issued prescriptions (drafts stay in the exam room) and anything attached to the visit: the lab PDF, the referral letter, the radiograph (see Files on a visit).

7. Lab results — any panel run on the visit, each number next to the reference range that flagged it (see Result templates).

8. The visit itself — appointment time, who it is with, status, and the invoice number and total if one exists.

Printing

Print record uses the browser's print dialog. The sidebar, top bar, buttons and the follow-up form drop out; what prints is the document. Landscape is not required — it fits A4/Letter in portrait.

Booking the follow-up without leaving the record

The bottom of the screen (not the printed page) has the booking form with Follow-up and this patient already selected — pick a date and time, and the same conflict engine that guards the calendar applies the buffers and double-booking checks. It lands on the Flowboard for that day like any other appointment.
