Who is the Vet block for?
The attending vet and the vet team. When a case opens on the morning check, you want it tracked to a decision with the right people told, so no animal waits and the record holds up.

Reported
Priya Sood reports animal 7756 from the morning check. Saving it emails the vet team and posts to Slack or Google Chat.
Taken
Jules Ferreira presses Take this report, and the vet section opens on the same record, HC-0184.
Lab told
Tell the lab emails Noor Adler, the PI on the record. If her lab misses its deadline, the case is on the next morning's list.
Raised elsewhere
A post-op check marked needs the vet or a positive sentinel alerts the vet team. Robin Mace opens a case, HC-0185, and links it.

Make room for your way of working
It starts from the most common way; each other way is a few changes.
A card plus a web form
The default.
6 of 20A paper report or log
The form replaces the paper; a morning list goes to the vet.
5 of 20Phone first
The call stays. Whoever answers opens the record.
3 of 20A vendor's vet module
Streamcell sits beside it.
2 of 20An email report
The workflow sends it, from the form.
2 of 20A team chat channel
Streamcell posts to Slack or Google Chat.
1 of 20Scan at the cage
The card stays and carries the record number.
1 of 20
- Who sees it first: vet staff or a vet tech at 15 of 20. Add a With vet tech status if that's yours.
- Urgent cases: 14 of 20 name a separate route, 10 of them the phone. Keep the phone; add an urgency field.

Question 1
Does a sick animal report go into a web form, an app or software?
See every question
- Does a sick animal report go into a web form, an app or software?
- Is it a module in software your facility bought?
- Are post-op checks written on a card in the cage card holder?
- Is the health case kept as a paper file per case or animal?
- Start from the default: A card plus a web form, like 6 of 20.
- Start beside your vet module: Like 2 of 20.
- Start from the post-op card: Like 3 of 12. The card stays; the checks go on the record.
- Start from the case file: Like 6 of 16. The health case replaces the paper file.
- Start from paper or the phone: Like 5 of 20 on paper, 3 by phone.
07 / The Vet block
Keep what already works
- The card on the cage. It can carry the record number.
- Phone calls. Where urgent cases go by phone, they still do; whoever answers opens the record.
- Your vet module and outside labs. Streamcell sits beside them; results go on the sample record.
- One thing Streamcell can't do: an if-then step. Urgent and routine reports run as two workflows.
