An in patient is a pet staying at the clinic for treatment rather than coming in and going home the same visit.
Admitting
- Go to Bookings, then In-patient.
- Press Admit.
- Choose the customer and the pet.
- Give the pet a room.
- Save.
The pet is now on the in patient list and its room counts as occupied.
While the pet is in
Add each treatment and service as it happens rather than saving it all for the end. It keeps the bill accurate and it means the next person on shift can see what has already been done.
Discharging
Press Discharge when the pet goes home. Settle the bill for everything recorded during the stay.
If something goes wrong
If the room you want is not free, it is still holding another patient. Discharge them first if they have gone, or use a different room.
If a treatment is missing from the bill, it was not recorded against the stay. Add it before discharging, because it is much harder to collect afterwards.
