Medical

The medical tab is used to track information about medical treatments an animal is receiving. It is extremely flexible in what it can track and it can handle just about any kind of schedule. You can create medical profiles from Diary->Medical Profiles and use these as templates for treatment records.

The upper part of the screen shows the medical record itself, when you click on one, the lower part of the screen populates - this shows the treatment records automatically created for you by ASM as a result of the medical record. As you complete each treatment, ASM will generate the next record in the sequence, until there are none left and the medical record is automatically completed (unless the treatment has an unspecified end, in which case ASM will continue to keep creating treatments until the animal dies).

You can view all outstanding medical treatments at any one time by visiting Diary->Medical Diary->Medical Book, you can also print currently outstanding treatments from here.

Medical records can also have a cost associated with them for reporting. The cost is for the whole medical item (ie. If it's a course of tablets, then the cost should reflect the whole cost of all treatments, it is not per treatment).
