About clinical summaries

To quickly and easily send a specified set of clinical information to a client or other persons, use a clinical summary. ezyVet clinical summaries use templates to help make sure that applicable clinical information is high quality and is easy to send.

A clinical summary can have information that is the applicable to the person who receives the information. For example, a clinical summary for clients could only have information about take-home medications, discharge notes, and revisits. And a clinical summary for specialist veterinarians could have information about clinical procedures and other information that is only related to the procedures.

Before you send a clinical summary:
  • You can set a date range for the clinical summary information
  • You can tell ezyVet to use show clinical information in groups of dates or in groups of clinical information types
  • You can select a Preview Summary button to do checks before you send the clinical summary
All ezyVet sites have a set of configured clinical summaries that you can select and use in clinical records. This image shows an example of configured clinical summaries in ezyVet’s system settings and the Summary box of a clinical record where you can select them:
