Animal registration connects recognizable pet details to the encounter supplying patient and clinician context. Coordinator resolves the visit, then Veterinarian uses the animal capture workflow under effective clinical authority. The workflow validates the whole command before saving, so a partially understood reference is a reason to stop and correct the input.
Coordinator resolves the intended encounters record and confirms its patient and clinician. The animal's encounter reference must point to this encounter. Check the visit context when an owner brings animals with similar names, because owner name and pet name are descriptive text rather than separate account identities.
Veterinarian submits through the validated capture path. The workflow resolves the permitted clinician and enforces Verified Clinical Privileges and Active care-team assignments coverage. Resolve the actor through the staff member's linked user account and the encounter's patient context. Staff familiarity cannot substitute for the required reference and authority.
Capture owner name, pet name, species, breed and birth date from the source information available to the practice. The animal capture workflow rejects a missing required reference or domain value as a whole command. Agree the required capture information during setup and rehearse rejection when it is missing, so staff can correct incomplete input before handing it on.
The permitted command saves the validated animal registration and retains workflow-managed immutable signed evidence. Veterinarian checks the saved operational encounter reference and animal identity before using the animal for vaccination capture. Review the captured clinician attribution and the signed evidence with Clinical Reviewer before handing the record into further care.
