  • List multiple behaviors from for one patient, eg. ‘Bites’, ‘Anxious’ to and ‘Aggressive’, as well as identify key health concerns such as allergies to food or medication

Client facing visibility settings

With the introduction of patient Demeanor Statuses, we've added increased functionality which gives you control over what the client sees when you need to run them through a Patient or Clinical Record. It's important for clinic staff to understand the temperament of the patients in the practice, but there aren't many clients that want to know their pet has an 'Aggressive' or 'Caution' label, and rightfully so.

By selecting the icon next to Demeanors in the sidebar it will change how the Demeanor status is displayed.
