NOVASheet Actions
Additional options are available in Patient Chart to edit, export, and sign a NOVASheet.
How to Discontinue a Treatment
Select the treatment name on the NOVASheet to open the Configure Treatment window, then select the Discontinue button. The discontinued treatment is then grayed out on the NOVASheet.
Add or Edit a NOVASheet Treatment
Select the Search treatment to add drop-down menu at the top of the NOVASheet to add a new treatment, or select an existing treatment on the NOVASheet to edit it. Learn more about configuring a treatment on a NOVASheet.
The Search treatment to add drop-down menu displays all products active for your location.
A treatment must be linked to a product from your Vetspire Inventory & Services to be billable and display on the client’s invoice.
Each NOVASheet comes with a preconfigured set of Task and Vital treatments that can be added. This helps you track common tasks and vital signs during a patient’s stay, such as Food and Water or Heart Rate. The preconfigured treatments are non-billable by default.
Can I create a custom treatment on a NOVASheet?
Yes! In the Search treatment to add search field, type the name of the treatment. Scroll to the end of the search results and select the relevant category button for the treatment: Medication, Treatment, or Diagnostic.
The treatment then displays on the NOVASheet. Select the treatment name to open the Configure Treatment window and edit the details, including the category type, as needed.
Edit NOVASheet Start Time
You can edit the Start Time of a NOVASheet before recording treatments.
Select the pencil icon next to the start date and time. Enter the new time using your keyboard or by selecting the clock icon, then select Update Start Time.
The system prevents you from editing the start time when there is a saved value for any treatment on the NOVASheet.
Edit NOVASheet Title and Progress Notes
In the right panel of the NOVASheet, select the pencil icon next to the NOVASheet title to rename it. Enter a new name, then select save.
Any notes entered in the Progress Notes field can be included in the NOVASheet Summary. When you select Add Note, the note is saved with the name of the user who added it and the date and time it was saved.
To edit a progress note, select the pencil icon next to it. Progress notes cannot be deleted.
View and Finalize NOVASheet Invoice
Select the Open Invoice button at the top of the NOVASheet to view what the client owes for billable treatments the patient has received during their stay.
The Invoice window displays the client’s current outstanding balance for all of their patients and open encounter orders.
Download and Email NOVASheet Summary
From the NOVASheet, you can email treatment summary reports to rDVMs, clients, internal staff, and any specified recipients. You can also download the summary as a PDF.
Select Summary to open the Email/Download Reports window.
The Email field automatically populates the email addresses for the rDVM and client. Add or remove email addresses in this field as needed.
Write your message in the Body field. Macros are supported.
Select Summary to include all completed treatments and Progress Notes in the summary report PDF, or select just Progress Notes.
Select Email to send the summary report.
Vetspire Recommends
The system does not prevent you from downloading or emailing a NOVASheet summary after the NOVASheet has been signed. Some users prefer to send the summary for review by the client or other staff while the patient is still in the practice’s care.
Sign a NOVASheet
Once a patient’s stay is complete and all treatments and notes have been recorded, select the Sign button at the top of the NOVASheet.
The system displays the name of the user who signed the NOVASheet and the date and time of the signing.
Select Reopen to open the signed NOVASheet for edits. NOVASheets do not “lock” and can be reopened at any time.
