You’re juggling urgent cases, critical patients, and high-stakes conversations. And on top of it all, you’re expected to document everything clearly, completely, and on time.
It’s a lot. Even the most efficient teams fall behind. Notes pile up, discharges get delayed, and the documentation meant to support care starts to slow it down.
Balancing patient care and thorough charting is a constant challenge—and we hate to break it to you, but if your software isn’t helping, it’s part of the problem.
Instinct EMR was built to help, not hinder. Here’s how it helps optimize your workflow by making documentation faster, clearer, and less stressful.
Charting That (Almost) Writes Itself
Tired of rewriting the same patient details over and over again? Not only is it tedious, it also sets the perfect stage for missed charges, delayed notes, and clinician burnout.
With Instinct’s Snippets and Variables, your team can skip the retyping and get the details right.
Snippets let you drop in commonly used text blocks—like vitals snapshots or full medication summaries—with a click. Variables pull patient-specific info like name, age, or weight directly from the record.
Prepping for a discharge? No need to start from scratch. With default text built right in—like diet instructions, activity restrictions, and follow-up guidelines—plus a Treatment and Prescription Snippet that pulls in patient-specific details and medications, everything is accurate and ready to go.
The proof is in the pudding with faster discharges, fewer errors, and less precious time spent re-entering information.
Templates That Don’t Box You In
Rigid templates only go so far. When cases don’t fit the mold, your team needs tools that adapt. With Instinct, your team can add custom headers, documents, and text blocks on the fly.
✏️ Tailor notes in real time
📄 Add detailed discharge instructions
📚 Attach client handouts directly from the chart
♻️ Build reusable blocks that reflect your hospital’s needs
Discharging a patient with multiple conditions? No problem. It’s easy to create clear sections for each condition and attach the right handouts, all from the same chart.
That means quicker charting, smoother client conversations, and more time for your next case.
Dictation Support for Nonstop Shifts
When you’re bouncing between cases or trying to finish charts between emergencies, stopping to type isn’t always realistic. And falling behind on notes can result in missed details, frustrated clients, or hours of catch-up at the end of the day.
Instinct supports Dragon Dictation and Talkatoo, so you can dictate directly into the chart and keep pace with the day. Don’t have either of those? No sweat. The talk-to-speech function on your PC or Mac works just as well.
Just wrapped up an exam? Dictate your findings directly into the SOAP while they’re still fresh. It’s just one more way Instinct helps your team stay accurate, efficient, and on track… even on your busiest days.
Real-Time Tools That Keep Up With Care
In the middle of a busy shift, documentation has to happen as care unfolds. Instinct supports real-time charting with features that help your team document on the go:
✅ Pinned chart panels that stay visible while you work
✅ Autosave and draft mode to protect your notes as you go (with a real-time collaboration safeguard to prevent accidental overwrites)
✅ Split-screen charting so you can document side by side with treatment data
A tech updating vitals mid-transfusion doesn’t have to open another tab or risk forgetting details. Notes stay visible, nothing gets missed, and no one has to stay late to catch up. It’s a win-win for your entire team.
Built for Real Veterinary Hospitals
Instinct was built by people who’ve been there and done that, who stayed late to finish records, caught up on notes after double shifts, and kept charting through the chaos of emergencies.
It was designed for the pace and pressure of ERs, specialty centers, and high-level general practice.
That’s why it:
🧠 Works in real time—not just after the fact
🏥 Supports complex, high-volume environments
📋 Helps teams document consistently and completely
💡 Reduces the friction that leads to burnout
From routine rechecks to critical cases, your team deserves efficient, user-friendly tools that make documentation fast, accurate, and complete—without pulling focus from patient care.
Better Documentation = Better Business
Charting isn’t just a task. It’s how your team protects patients, captures revenue, and communicates clearly with clients and colleagues.
When it’s done well and quickly:
✔️ Charges don’t get missed
✔️ Records are ready for audits or referrals
✔️ Clients leave with clear, accurate instructions
✔️ Staff can finish their shift on time
And those small time savings add up. One high-volume ER and specialty hospital saved 138 hours per month and recovered 10–14% in previously lost revenue with Instinct, thanks to streamlining charting and improving charge capture.
That level of impact—more time, fewer missed charges—is intentional and exactly what Instinct was built to deliver.
