Veterinary hospital ward software.
Capture every charge.
Admit a patient to the ward and run the whole stay from one live board. Apply a treatment plan, round through the day, and tick each treatment off — it lands on the invoice and stock deducts. Charts vitals, drafts the discharge summary, and bills a multi-day stay as one invoice per owner.
Where ward charges go missing
Inpatient revenue leaks the same way in almost every practice. The treatment happens; the charge never makes it to the bill.
The kennel sheet that lies
A paper treatment sheet on the cage records what was planned, not always what was given. Initials get rushed, a dose gets repeated, a flush goes unwritten — and the clipboard is all you have to go on.
Busy rounds, small charges
The injectable, the bag of fluids, the second dose of antibiotic — each one is small, each one is easy to skip when you’re moving fast between cages. Across a full ward, those small charges add up.
Rebuilding the bill at discharge
At discharge, someone reconstructs a multi-day invoice from a stack of sheets and a few memories. Whatever didn’t make it onto paper never makes it onto the bill — that’s the leak.
One ward board, admit to discharge
Everything an inpatient stay needs — the schedule, the charting, the billing, the summary — lives on one screen instead of a clipboard.
Live ward board
See every patient in the ward and what’s due, at a glance. The ward board flags overdue treatments while you’re on shift so the next dose isn’t missed.
Treatment-plan templates
Build a plan once — antibiotics q12h, fluids, pain relief, post-op checks. Apply it on admission and the ward board surfaces each treatment as it comes due.
Scheduled treatments & PRN
Recurring doses schedule themselves down the day. Add a PRN treatment as needed, record the quantity actually given, and chart vitals and observations straight to the record.
Charge capture (tick → bill)
Tick a treatment off — it’s on the invoice. Completed treatments post to the day’s draft invoice and stock deducts, with a full audit trail. No re-keying treatments into the bill.
AI-drafted discharge summaries
At discharge, DigiVet drafts a plain-language summary of the stay, treatments given, and what to watch for — which you review and edit before sending. Nothing goes to the client without your tap.
Ward reporting
See revenue per stay, average length of stay, occupancy, and doses charted by each staff member — so inpatient care stops being a black box on the P&L.
How a stay runs, start to finish
Admit, apply the plan, round, discharge. What you tick off lands on the bill as you go.
Admit to the ward
Admit the patient to a stay in a tap. The ward board now shows them alongside every other inpatient, with their record one tap away.
Apply the plan
Apply a treatment-plan template once. The ward board surfaces each treatment as it comes due, so nobody has to redraw the schedule by hand.
Round and tick off
On rounds, complete each task and confirm the quantity given. The moment you tick it off, the charge posts to the day’s draft invoice and stock deducts.
Discharge
At discharge, the bill is already built from what you ticked off. DigiVet drafts the discharge summary for you to review, and a multi-day stay splits into one invoice per owner.
Built for how wards actually run
Overnight stays, post-op recovery, shared shifts, multi-day boarders — the board keeps the whole ward straight.
Overnight and out-of-hours
Treatments due while the ward’s closed defer quietly until you reopen — no 2am chimes. When you walk in, the board shows exactly what’s waiting.
Post-op recovery
Pain relief on schedule, recovery checks logged, observations charted to the record. Every dose that goes in lands on the invoice when you tick it off — nothing gets recovered from memory at discharge.
Shared shifts, one shared board
The vet, the nurse, and the next shift all read the same live board. Doses charted by each staff member show up in ward reporting, so handover is what’s on screen — not a hurried verbal at the door.
Multi-day boarders and co-owners
A multi-day stay rolls up into one combined invoice. When a patient has co-owners with a billing split, it splits into one invoice per owner automatically — you send each one with a tap.
You stay in control
The ward board assists. A staffer decides.
A charge only posts when you tick the treatment off
Billing is assisted, never autonomous. A staffer completes the task and confirms which lines were given — only then does it post to the draft invoice and deduct stock, with a full audit trail of who did what and when.
The discharge summary is yours to review before it sends
DigiVet drafts the discharge summary; you read it, edit anything, and it only reaches the client on your tap. A draft, not a decision — no auto-emails, no surprises.
Alerts stay in the clinic
The ward board flags overdue treatments on screen, with an in-clinic chime and a browser notification — nothing more. No SMS, no WhatsApp, no remote escalation. Treatments due while the ward’s closed wait quietly until you reopen.
Where the ward fits
The hospital ward is one part of DigiVet. Here’s how it connects to the rest of the practice.

DigiVet's hospital ward captures charges the moment a staffer ticks a treatment off — it is assisted, not autonomous. When you complete a task on the ward board and confirm which lines were given, those items post to the day's draft invoice and stock deducts, with a full audit trail. Nothing is billed without a staffer marking the treatment done.
DigiVet's hospital ward is a charge-capture and ward-board system for general inpatient care, not a critical-care platform. It schedules treatments, charts vitals and observations, and posts completed items to the bill. It does not include a CRI or fluid-rate builder, an mg/kg dose calculator, or a witnessed controlled-drug register.
DigiVet's hospital ward replaces the paper kennel sheet and treatment sheet with a live ward board. Every scheduled treatment, dose, and observation lives on screen, each staffer ticks tasks off as they round, and the completed treatments flow onto the day's invoice — so nothing has to be reconstructed from a clipboard at discharge.
DigiVet's ward board flags overdue treatments on screen while you are on shift, with an in-clinic chime and a browser notification. There are no SMS, WhatsApp, or remote escalations. Treatments due while the ward is closed defer quietly until you reopen — no 2am chimes.
DigiVet's hospital ward rolls a multi-day stay into one combined invoice per owner. When a patient has co-owners with a billing split, the stay splits into one invoice per owner automatically — and you send each one with a tap.
DigiVet's hospital ward is included in your DigiVet plan. There is no per-bed meter and no add-on subscription for inpatient care.
