Veterinary Breakroom: Going on the Record About Charting
Welcome to the Veterinary Breakroom, where Alyssa Watson, DVM, and Beth Molleson, DVM, discuss the important, relevant topics affecting veterinarians today. “I became a veterinarian because I just love charting,” said literally no one ever. And yet, generating complete, accurate medical records is a vital part of a veterinarian’s job and takes a considerable amount of time. Thorough records can facilitate continuity of care while incomplete records can hinder patient care and expose the veterinarian to liability. In this episode, Dr. Beth and Dr. Alyssa share how they manage their charts and what resources are available to avoid falling behind. Finish up that last patient's record and join us in the breakroom for this compelling chat between colleagues.
