About the Patient Chart screen
Veterinarians use the Patient Chart screen to monitor information about patients that they referred to a specialty or emergency practice.
This image shows an example of the Patient Chart screen:
To get access to a patient's information, in the Details column of the applicable patient, select Show.
- Patients treated in the last six months
- Sections that have data from specialty or emergency practice
To make sure rVetLink shows accurate patient information, it syncs data with specialty or emergency practices regularly.
- Practices that use ezyVet sync data to rVetLink every five to ten minutes
- Practices that use Cornerstone sync to rVetLink every four hours
