Relationships
Animals, owners and households
Each animal is a record under an owner and household, with species, age, history, recall dates and balances.
Why it matters here The practice treats animals and bills households, and both need to be visible together.
In practice A household with three animals and one balance rather than three records.
Work
Consultations, procedures and recalls
Each is work with an animal, a vet, a room, a duration and a type — routine, preventive or emergency.
Why it matters here Separating emergency from routine is what makes displacement measurable.
In practice Emergency work at eighteen percent of clinical hours.
Inventory
Vaccines, medicines and consumables
Stock is held with batch, expiry, supplier return eligibility, storage requirement and dispensing records.
Why it matters here In-house dispensing carries the same expiry economics as a pharmacy.
In practice Eighty-six thousand expiring within ninety days with return windows open on part of it.
Workforce
Vet capacity and rostering
Vet and nurse availability is recorded against consultations, procedures and emergency cover.
Why it matters here One capacity serves two very different demand patterns.
In practice Routine appointments displaced by emergency load, quantified by day.
Workflows
Estimates, consent and payment terms
Estimates, consent, treatment approval and payment terms move through defined steps with recorded decisions.
Why it matters here A cost conversation before a procedure prevents the one afterwards.
In practice An estimate recorded and accepted before the procedure begins.
People
Vets, nurses and reception
Staff are modelled once, with consultations, procedures, dispensing and recalls attributed.
Why it matters here Recall conversion and dispensing both vary by individual.
In practice Recall conversion by the person who made the call.
Suppliers
Suppliers, labs and referral centres
Suppliers carry terms, return windows and reliability; labs and referral centres carry turnaround.
Why it matters here Lab turnaround affects when an owner can be given an answer.
In practice Lab turnaround by test type against what owners are told.
Reports and analytics
Recall, capacity and stock reporting
Recall adherence, emergency displacement, pharmacy expiry, estimate accuracy and outstanding balances come from the records.
Why it matters here The practice’s predictable revenue and its capacity risk are both measurable.
In practice Recall adherence by species and preventive type.
Verity AI
Ask the practice a question
Verity AI answers from your own animal, appointment, stock and owner records, respects permissions, and can create assigned follow-ups.
Why it matters here The valuable questions are about recalls due and capacity consumed.
In practice "Which animals are past their preventive recall?" returns two hundred and eighteen.
Communication
Owner contact recorded
Reminders, updates and estimates attach to the animal or owner they concern.
Why it matters here Owners of unwell animals need updates, and the practice needs a record of what was said.
In practice The estimate discussed with an owner, recorded before the procedure.
Control
Who can discount and write off
One permission model and one audit trail across every record.
Why it matters here Fee decisions in emotionally difficult situations need consistency.
In practice A write-off recorded with its reason and approver.
Locations
Rooms, theatre and kennels
Locations carry their own capacity, occupancy and cleaning requirements.
Why it matters here Theatre and kennel capacity constrain what can be scheduled.
In practice Theatre utilisation against scheduled procedures.
