11.6.3.5. Aftercare Documents in the VCP

It is crucial that aftercare paperwork lands in the right hands for best recovery outcomes. This section will guide you through how to send the foster aftercare documents.

Set the owner

Typically, fostered animals are scheduled as volume client appointments. In order to receive communications such as aftercare paperwork, the foster must be set as the Volume Client Owner. To do so, go to the Appointment tab at Checkout. Click Set Owner and fill in the foster’s details.

Once the owner is set, any paperwork manually emailed will be sent to both the volume client and the Volume Client Owner (foster).

Patient Flow Automation

If your clinic has patient flow automations set up, you can select the take home paperwork to be sent to the VCO.
