Participant Feedback

When asked what aspects of the course liked best some responses were:

...As a veterinarian, this was most helpful when considering how to best deploy my staff.

...The acronyms used: We are scatt...on every patient everytime. CPR songs: Input clinic information and Output ...repeat information to the client. Levels and categories (1 to 5) Very thorough and well presented. Thank you!

...It was very informative. It solidified information that I already knew but also talked about things that were not common knowledge in my own ER practice that may be something I will advocate towards changing.

...This is an amazing topic, presentation, and presenter. Should be mandatory watching for tech students and/or all current practices.

 

Course Focus and Learning Objectives

VetCE on Demand: Triage VetTechnicalities utilizes the archive of a live presentation under the same name.

Evaluate the patient. Calm the clients. Notify the team. Treat the patient. Repeat! Veterinary technicians and nurses are the first responders in the ER, and triaging requires more than a brief once-over. This course covers every aspect of an ER veterinary triage, from input to intake, and informs you how to implement effective triage into your practice. Useful for general practices and specialty centers, via telemedicine and in-person. You won't just be reading a temperature; you will be reading the whole room!

At the end of the course participants should be able to:

  • outline common ER visits & what they entail
  • explain Triage 101 the patient evaluation nose to toes
  • describe what telemedicine means for a veterinary technician/nurse
  • differentiate the roles of vet techs/nurses throughout the process
  • explain how a thorough triage team fits in the overall workflow in any veterinary setting
