NOVA

NOVA is Vetspire’s electronic whiteboard and treatment sheet solution. NOVA is designed specifically for patients receiving routine care, such as in emergency rooms or boarding facilities.

From Global Navigation, select NOVA to view the NOVABoard. This displays all patients with active NOVASheets at your location.

Each cell in the NOVABoard displays the number of treatment tasks due for a patient at a given time. The cells are color-coded to let you know when tasks are due.

• Red: Overdue tasks

• Blue: Tasks due within the current hour

• Green: Future tasks

Access a Patient’s Individual NOVASheet

To view a patient’s NOVASheet and record treatments, select the cell for the treatment time in the NOVA board. You can also access a patient’s open NOVASheet by selecting NOVASheets from the left panel of the patient chart.

The patient’s NOVASheet displays due and upcoming treatments by the hour.

No need to create a new NOVASheet each day!

Once created, a NOVASheet continues for the entire patient visit, replicating at midnight each night.

Record a Treatment in NOVASheet

1. Select the cell for the time slot you want to edit.

2. Enter the value for the task.

3. Select Save. The system displays the user recording the treatment and the date and time of the record.

Manage NOVASheet

Within a NOVASheet, you can stop, skip, and make other changes to treatment tasks based on the patient’s needs.

1. Stop a treatment: Select Stop Treatment to remove future timeslots for a task. Only currently due and future treatments can be stopped. Select Start Treatment to resume the treatment. The restarted treatment time defaults to the time the NOVASheet was created.

2. Highlight a cell in a different color.

3. Add a comment: Comments are visible until the NOVASheet is signed.

4. Skip a treatment.

Display Treatment Hour in Increments

NOVASheet treatments display in hourly increments by default. You can add columns to a NOVASheet to view increments of 5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes for a selected hour. This allows you to record the precise time a treatment task is completed.

Select the hour in the column header, then select an increment.

To change the column back to hourly increments, select 60 min.
