Quick Picks

The Medical tab "quick pick maintenance" is where the values associated with medical quick-pick items can be modified.

The quick pick lists are defined by SPECIES, so the quick will be different for Dogs versus Cats versus Horses, etc. Pick a species in the "Quick pick maintenance," and you will then see the defined quick pick values for that species. Each item can then be modified. The available values will be determined by the list values defined for each medical category (DIAG_TEST_TYPE, MEDICATION_REASON, MEDICAL_SERVICE).

Note: These list values are modified in the top section of the screen

This switch determines if the notes entered for each medical item will be printed on the Medical History forms which are printed from the Shelter Management "Case View". The notes can be used to provide a more detailed write-up of each medical item administered, and your organization may choose to share those notes with a pet's owner by printing them on the form.
