ScribbleVet Integration with EMR

Written by Meridythe Lanoue

ScribbleVet supports exporting notes into Instinct via the ScribbleVet Chrome Extension. For setup and configuration assistance, please contact ScribbleVet Support.

Currently, ScribbleVet is only available in the Chrome browser with the Scribble Chrome Extension. This allows you to export notes made in your ScribbleVet template into Instinct.

Downloading the ScribbleVet Browser Companion

Setting Up the ScribbleVet Browser Companion

  1. Install the ScribbleVet Browser Companion from Chrome.

  2. Click the puzzle piece in the top right corner of your browser and ‘Pin’ the ScribbleVet Browser Companion to your extension bar.

  3. Log in to ScribbleVet in your browser.

  4. Open the Browser Companion by clicking the Potato icon in the extension bar.

  5. The Browser Companion should automatically log in to your ScribbleVet account.

    • If it does not, close the extension and reopen it after logging into ScribbleVet.

Linking Providers & Syncing Appointments

To link your providers and sync appointments:

  • Open the ScribbleVet Browser Companion alongside Instinct (any page should work)

Step 1: Click the “Instinct” button within the Browser Companion.

Step 2: Link “providers” in Scribble to the corresponding providers in Instinct.

Note: This is done only once and ScribbleVet provides an auto-linking button that tries to match the provider by name. You also have the option to search for the provider or unlink if needed.

Step 3: Sync to pull appointments for provider(s) (“Sync” button should be purple).

Setting up Charts to Transfer to Instinct from ScribbleVet:

  1. Navigate to the patient’s chart in Instinct.

  2. Open the corresponding ScribbleVet note in the ScribbleVet Browser Companion.

  3. Click “Link to section” and map each ScribbleVet section to the desired section in your Instinct record template.

    • Your mapping preferences will be saved for future notes.

  4. Click “Add all” to copy the ScribbleVet note into Instinct.

  5. Any section left as “Link to section” will not be copied.


Avoiding Data Loss When Pushing Notes to Instinct

When pushing a ScribbleVet note to Instinct, the contents of the mapped field in Instinct are overwritten, including any manually added or pasted text. To prevent data loss:

  1. Make all edits and additions in ScribbleVet before pushing the note.

  2. Avoid adding content directly in Instinct if you plan to push the note again.

By following these steps, you ensure that all necessary information is preserved and accurately reflected in the chart.

After the Record Review summary is generated:

  1. Navigate to the patient in Instinct

  2. Switch from the Appointments to the Patients tab in the ScribbleVet Browser Companion

  3. Select the matching Patient

  4. Click “Add All” to copy information to Instinct.

To create clear, client-facing discharge sections without repetitive manual edits, structure your ScribbleVet templates as follows:

  1. Open the Templates section in the ScribbleVet web app.

  2. Copy and customize your current template.

  3. Add a dedicated section for client discharge content.

  4. Provide section-specific instructions, such as:

    • "Write in plain language."

    • "Include home care steps, follow-up timing, and warning signs to watch for." This approach ensures that the AI generates content tailored for clients, reducing the need for manual adjustments.### Accessing and Using Notes Without PIMS Integration If a clinic lacks PIMS integration, you can still access and use ScribbleVet notes via a web browser. Follow these steps:

  5. Record the appointment on your phone using the ScribbleVet app.

  6. Log in to the ScribbleVet web app on any clinic computer; your notes will sync automatically.

  7. Open the appointment note and copy the content:

    • Use the "Copy" button for individual sections, or

    • Use "Copy All" to copy the full SOAP note in your preferred format (Rich Text, Formatted Text, or Plain Text).

  8. Paste the content into the clinic’s charting system. Use Rich Text to preserve formatting if supported, or Plain Text for clean pasting. This browser-based workflow is efficient and does not require PIMS integration.


Transcribing your Charts:

After generating a Record Review summary:

  1. Navigate to the patient in Instinct.

  2. In the ScribbleVet Browser Companion, switch from the Appointments tab to the Patients tab.

  3. Select the matching patient.

  4. Click “Add All” to copy the information into Instinct.
