Importing patients from Vetspire into VetRec
⚠️ This capability is in BETA. Please reach out to our support team to enable it on either our chat bubble in the product or email at [email protected].
VetRec allows you to automatically import your patients in your schedule from Vetspire. Once the connection is configured, VetRec will be populated with the patients you are seeing for the day. By navigating to All Visits, you will see the Sync Vetspire button.
Once the button is pressed, in a few seconds the visits are imported. Imported visits are automatically configured to make the export process more seamless so that you don't need to add a patient Id or encounter Id.
You can press the Sync Vetspire button as many times as you want during the day. It will automatically update any appointments that have changed (e.g. patient changed appointment time) as well as add any last minute patients that get added to your schedule!
Exporting notes from VetRec to Vetspire
VetRec allows you to also export your notes directly into Vetspire. Once the connection to Vetspire is configured, you will see the Export to Vetspire option appear under the Actions button in the Notes tab.
When you press the Export to Vetspire button a modal will appear to confirm the transfer of the notes. The modal provides the ability to input a patient ID and an encounter ID to define where the notes will be transferred to. If you are using our import capabilities, these fields will be automatically populated. You can simply hit Export!
Now go back to Vetspire and you will see the notes exported. (See export behavior below)
Sometimes a page refresh is required for exported notes to show up.
Finding the patient ID and encounter ID
If you need to find the patient ID. This is the ID of the patient in Vetspire that you want to add the notes to. You can find the ID on Vetspire at the top of the patient's chart.
If you need to find the encounter ID, it can be found in the Vetspire URL for the encounter.
