Add to a recording you've already made

You can now continue a recording you’ve already made. Open the recording, click Extend Recording, and anything you say is added to it. VetNotes then writes the note again using everything recorded so far.

Benefits

• One note for the whole visit. No more stitching together notes from separate recordings.
• Share the consult. A nurse can record the first part and the vet can carry on from there.
• Add results when they arrive. Blood results, X-ray findings or a phone update go into the same note.
• Nothing is lost. Your first recording stays, and the new part is added after it.

When to use it

• Nurse intake. The nurse records Tommy’s weight, temperature and Jenny’s history. Dr Emma Taylor then extends the recording for her exam and plan.
• Blood results come back. Later that day, the lab sends Tommy’s bloods. Open his recording and dictate the results.
• You forgot something. Jenny calls back to say Tommy has been off his food. Add it to the recording.
• A long or interrupted consult. You stopped recording to take a call. Carry on where you left off.

How to use it

1. Open the recording you want to add to.
2. Click Extend Recording. It’s where the Start Recording button was.
3. Talk or dictate as normal, then click Stop Recording.
4. Wait for the note to update. It now includes the first recording and the new part.

You can extend a recording as many times as you need.
