Vet Discharge Summary Writer

The problem

Veterinary staff spend hours drafting discharge instructions, often defaulting to clinical jargon that confuses pet owners. This leads to poor post-visit compliance, missed warning signs, and repetitive follow-up calls from anxious owners.

What it does

• Converts clinical visit notes into clear, empathetic, owner-facing discharge summaries.
• Generates structured medication tables with specific dosing, frequency, and administration routes.
• Drafts species-specific activity and dietary restrictions for dogs, cats, rabbits, and exotics.
• Creates high-urgency warning sign lists tailored to the specific procedure or diagnosis.
• Formats professional aftercare templates including follow-up scheduling and contact info.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic LLMs often use overly clinical language or omit critical safety warnings like GI stasis in rabbits or specific incision care. This skill enforces a strict plain-language policy and mandates specific safety sections that generic prompts overlook, ensuring consistent quality across the practice.

Use cases

• Drafting post-surgical aftercare instructions for spays, neuters, or orthopedic procedures.
• Explaining new chronic medication regimens for conditions like diabetes or heart disease.
• Providing clear guidance for home management of acute illnesses or injuries.
• Creating pre-visit intake instructions and fasting requirements for upcoming surgeries.

Known limitations
