Create Prescriptions and Orders with Vetcove Home Delivery

Written by Melissa Duarte

With the Vetcove Home Delivery integration connected, your staff can create prescriptions and place orders in the Vetcove pharmacy app. Vetcove automatically enters the prescriptions in Instinct EMR, so no manual entry is needed.

Beta Phase: This integration is currently in Beta, which means it’s still being tested and improved. Some functionality may change. If you notice any issues, please contact Support.


Before you begin

  • Connect the Vetcove Home Delivery integration for your practice. See Connect Vetcove Home Delivery.

  • Make sure the patient has been checked in at your connected location within the past 2 years.
