Why Clear Discharge Instructions Matter
Client compliance is one of the biggest factors in patient outcomes. When pet owners clearly understand what to do at home, they're more likely to follow through with medications, activity restrictions, and monitoring.
VetGeni's discharge instructions generator transforms your clinical notes into plain-language instructions that pet owners can actually follow.
Generate from Your SOAP Note
The fastest way to create discharge instructions is directly from a completed SOAP note. VetGeni pulls the relevant information - diagnosis, medications, and care instructions - and formats them for client readability.
This means no double-entry. What you documented for the medical record becomes what you hand to the client, just translated into terms they understand.
Customization and Branding
Every clinic has its own style. VetGeni lets you:
- Add your clinic logo and contact information
- Set custom headers and footers
- Include veterinarian name and credentials
- Create templates for common procedures

“In this quick tutorial, I'll show you how to generate discharge instructions for your clients using VetGeni.”
“I'm working with Remington here - he came in for a laceration, and I've already completed his SOAP note. Now I need to give the owner instructions to take home.”
“I click on the Discharge tab, and VetGeni automatically pulls in the relevant information from the case. It creates sections for the diagnosis, medications with dosing schedules, activity restrictions, and what warning signs to watch for.”
“Notice how it converted the medical terminology into language the client can understand. Instead of 'BID administration of amoxicillin-clavulanate,' it says 'Give one pill with food twice daily, morning and evening.'”
“The warning signs section is highlighted so it stands out. This tells the owner when they need to call us or go to emergency - things like excessive swelling, discharge, or if their pet stops eating.”
“I can print this directly, email it to the client, or save it as a PDF. The whole process takes about 15 seconds. That's the power of having an AI veterinary scribe handle your documentation.”
