## Overview

### Key benefits of VETbuddy

 VETbuddy supports a 100% paperless clinic operation, using prefilled consent, admission, patient education material and hospitalization forms. Signatures can be captured electronically on a mobile or tablet.

 The appointment module includes patient and client registration, vet duty rota, selection of medical complaint and automatic time allocation, consultation room and equipment reservation, calendar, email, SMS or app appointment confirmation, and more.

 The inventory management module allows users to track their inventory quantities, and supports individual clinics, as well as management of central warehouses for chains of clinics, and stock can be transferred between clinics. 

 The admission module allows users to reserve cages, admit patients online, transfer cages, extend or shorten admission time periods, send photos to owners after pets are admitted, mark cages for cleaning, and more.

 The electronic whiteboard allows users to view live medical statistics for each admitted patient, as well as their vital signs, medical procedures, medications, and more, on a tv monitor or tablet display. This eliminates the need for traditional whiteboards or paper updates.

 The referral clinic module allows specialty hospitals to manage referring clinics and track which of their new clients are being referred from which doctors or clinics. Referring doctors are also able to send across medical records and patient information when referring a patient.
