The digital forms that every veterinary clinic needs to improve business operations

During physical examinations, there are a variety of forms that veterinarians and technicians use for an animal’s medical records. Outdated processes like printable vet forms can lead to messy and disorganized data entry. This can be a significant administrative burden for your veterinary technicians and cause inefficient workflows of data collection and storage. On-site record-keeping of paper forms often leads to misplaced documents and incorrect or incomplete forms.

By switching to paperless pet health records, you can transform the way that you collect pet patient data. With mobile veterinary forms, your team can focus on providing excellent care for the animals and less on mundane tasks like processing and filing documents. GoFormz digital forms are accessible via the mobile app on your smartphone or tablet, or even online in our web app, allowing you to fill out forms, anytime and anywhere.

Read below about the top forms that your team should be using to provide excellent care at your veterinary practice:

Veterinary Cage Card 

A cage card is critical for veterinary staff to identify each animal at the clinic or rescue center. The cage card includes information like Animal Name, Breed, Color, Allergies, Age, and any special instructions for the caretaker. Typically, there will be a photo of the animal to ensure that they are in the correct location. Paper veterinary cage cards can be messy and hard to read, leaving staff confused and unable to properly care for the animal. With digital veterinary cage card templates, upon intake of a new animal, staff can easily input pet health information into form fields. With Image fields, your team can even upload a picture of the pet onto the form directly from their mobile device or tablet.

Veterinary Treatment Sheet

When an animal is in veterinary care, it is important that technicians are carefully monitoring its status on a daily or even hourly basis. A treatment sheet often keeps track of the animal’s diet, fluids, sleep, and food intake. With paperless forms, your team can collect this information and notify the veterinarian of any alarming issues instantly. By setting up Automated Workflows within the GoFormz form builder, completed forms can be sent via email or stored securely within your internal systems. 

Veterinary Physical Exam Form

During the physical examination, the veterinarian will observe the animal’s current physical condition and demeanor to determine health issues and ailments. The vet needs the ability to notate health problems quickly and efficiently before coming up with a treatment plan. Creating a veterinary physical exam template within the GoFormz drag-and-drop builder requires no coding experience. This functionality empowers even the least technologically savvy employees to build dynamic and custom forms.

Vet Record

After an examination, you will need to send the vet record form to pet owners. Building a vet record template that derives data from your DataSources will help seamlessly integrate your system’s data into the field. For example, by pulling data from your internal vaccination records, you can seamlessly notify pet owners when their pet is overdue for a vaccine. 

Veterinary Estimate 

After the vet appointment is complete, your technician will need to send the pet owner an estimate with the breakdown of the costs.  When you build a Veterinary Estimate Template within the GoFormz form builder, you can utilize Table fields with instant Calculations to automatically streamline totals and improve the accuracy of your entered data.  

With these digital forms, your team is equipped to provide exceptional care to the animals and put pet parents at ease during and after the appointments. You can try GoFormz for free for 14 days. Get started today!
