Protect every shift hand-off in your veterinary ward
Structured inpatient stays, ward-round observations and automated hand-offs so fluid rates, pain scores and urine output survive every shift change — without a whiteboard or a spreadsheet.
The problem
Kennel charts live on whiteboards, spreadsheets and free-text consultation notes, so fluid rates, pain scores and urine output get lost or mistyped at the one moment they matter most: shift change. Incoming nurses reconstruct a patient’s trajectory from fragments, and a missed analgesia rescue threshold or an interrupted fluid rate becomes a safety and liability event, not an inconvenience.
The solution
Veterinary Hospitalisation & Inpatient Care gives every admitted patient a structured stay record with purpose-built clinical fields, a live ward board, pre-filled shift hand-offs and automatic alerts when an observation is overdue or a pain score crosses its rescue threshold — so continuity is enforced, not hoped for.
Everything a ward needs for safe hand-offs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Live Ward Board
A kanban board grouped by ward shows every admitted patient at a glance, with inline Rescue and Overdue badges and one-click Observe / Hand-off buttons — the single screen that answers how the whole ward is doing right now.
Admission & Status Workflow
Each stay moves through a Draft, Confirmed and Done lifecycle with a full chatter audit trail, an auto-sequenced reference number, and cage/ward assignment captured at admission alongside weight and a 1-9 body condition score.
Structured Ward-Round Observations
Dedicated fields capture fluid rate, Glasgow pain score, urine output and calorie intake against resting energy requirement — no free-text note dumping, so every metric stays reportable and comparable over time.
Shift Hand-off With Pre-Filled Vitals
At shift boundaries the outgoing team generates a hand-off that snapshots the latest fluid rate, pain score, urine output and calorie intake for the incoming team to review and acknowledge, closing the data-loss gap at the riskiest moment in care.
Analgesia Rescue & Overdue Alerts
A recorded pain score that crosses its configurable rescue threshold, or an observation that runs past its scheduled interval, is flagged automatically on the stay and the ward board — turning passive records into proactive safety signals.
Touch-Optimised Quick Entry
A compact modal observation form puts large, fast-entry fields in front of the nurse doing rounds, so recording fluids, pain and urine output during kennel-to-kennel checks does not mean returning to a full form.
Consultation-to-Admission Linkage
A consultation can create its resulting inpatient stay with one click, and the link is protected from accidental deletion, so the clinical picture stays connected from outpatient visit through to hospitalisation.
Patient & Owner Records
Each patient record holds species, breed, sex, date of birth, microchip number, photo and owner, with smart buttons to every linked consultation and inpatient stay — the shared profile every clinical screen builds on.
Collaboration & Historical Reporting
Internal notes, messages, scheduled activities and followers let the ward team coordinate on a specific patient, while month-based grouping and veterinarian filtering support retrospective audits and caseload review.
How it works
Admit the Patient
Create or select the patient and owner, record admission weight and body condition score, and assign a kennel in the chosen ward.
Confirm the Stay
Confirming the stay starts the clinical workflow, opening observation and hand-off recording and placing the patient on the live ward board.
Record Ward Rounds
Capture fluid rate, pain score, urine output and calorie intake through the quick-entry modal as the ward team completes its rounds.
Hand Off & Discharge
Generate a shift hand-off with pre-filled vitals for the incoming team to acknowledge, then move the stay to Done once the patient is discharged.
