Appointments

View and manage patients' appointments from one place.
You can filter them by status or by date range.

The appointment cards display the visit type and the status of the appointment, together with the available actions:

  • Check-in (for visits that are not in progress yet)

  • Open record

  • Confirm (for new requests)

  • Edit/Reschedule

  • Mark as 'No Show'

  • Cancel

Other information displayed includes the date and time, the associated room, the appointment reason (for appointments booked online), and internal notes.


Records

The Records tab comes with the following filters:

  • Date Range

  • Record Status

  • Associated Diagnoses

  • Visit Type

  • Sale Status (Open, Ready for Checkout, Closed)

  • Payment Status (No Sale, Pending, Paid, Partially Paid, Overdraft)

  • Clinics (if part of a multi-location)

  • Staff

The Record card also shows the linked appointment and communications, so all the relevant notes are easy to find. The card gives you a summary of the SOAP, in order: Subjective → Objective → Assessment → Plan → Recommendation.

The card header includes:

  • Visit type and record number → click to open the record in a new tab

  • Billing status → see where the record stands at a glance

  • Comments → see the comment count, read comments, and add new ones

  • Actions → view attachments, preview invoice & record, and highlight record

To review records faster:

  • Expand All → expand every section of the record at once, without clicking "See More" on each one

  • Show Full Record → view the complete record inside the Health Card, without opening a new tab

Highlighted records

You can highlight records on the right side of the Timeline so you can have easy access to it. This makes it easy to compare notes and results from one visit to another, to duplicate it, or access attachments, invoices, or lab results. The highlight record function is per staff member, meaning each staff member could have different highlighted records.


To view only highlighted records, toggle on the 'Show Highlights' on the top right of the Records Timeline section. This will show all highlighted records.


Treatment Plans

The Treatment Plan refers to an estimate of services and products recommended for a patient's care. It outlines the necessary treatments, associated costs, and allows for electronic approval and synchronization with the patient's medical record.


Each treatment entry includes key details such as:

  • Date: This indicates when the treatment was assigned to the patient.

  • Status: This shows whether the treatment is Approved, Pending, or Rejected.

  • Signed: This confirms if the treatment plan has been signed by the necessary parties.

  • Invoice: If applicable, you’ll find the invoice associated with the treatment plan.

Additionally, you have the option to 'Review & Sign' to action the estimate from the Timeline, 'Email Document', or 'Print' the treatment plan.

​

Client communication

The Client Communication tab consolidates all calls, emails, and text messages exchanged between you and the client, with the option to link specific records to these interactions for easy reference.

You can now view the full content of any outgoing email - including attachments - directly from the communication log. This applies to all outgoing emails sent through Digitail, including:

  • Invoices

  • Medical Records

  • Discharge Notes

  • Treatment Plans

  • Certificates & Forms

  • Preventive Treatment Histories

Every email and text message your clinic sent shows its delivery status. When one wasn't delivered, hover over its status to see why and what to do next, for example a landline that can't receive texts or an email address that doesn't exist. The same reason shows for every message your clinic sent in The Communication Log.


Client updates

Pet parents can share different updates with you, directly from the Digitail App! They have multiple updates they can track, from weight to food and water intake, medical or behavior changes. All the diary updates marked as 'Public' will automatically be shared with their care provider (which is you 💜 )!

📌 If a client doesn't have the app installed, you can send them an invite with more details.
