If you often prescribe the same protocols — post-op neutering, otitis treatment, deworming — you don't need to type everything again for each patient. In Prescriptions, the Templates tab holds prescriptions ready to reuse.
Use a template
On the Templates tab, tap the template you want. The new-prescription screen opens with the template's text already filled in — you just pick the patient, adjust doses or notes if needed, and save.
You can also start the other way around: on any new prescription — created from the Prescriptions screen, from a consultation, or from the patient's history — the first step (date, type and patient) has a Prescription template field. Pick a template there and its text and type fill the prescription; leave it on Start blank to write from scratch. The field only shows up once you have saved templates.
Create a template from scratch
On the Templates tab, tap New template. The editor opens full screen, on the same prescription paper:
- Give the template a name (e.g. "Post-op neutering — dog").
- Write the content — medications, doses, instructions — with the same formatting as a prescription. You don't have to start from a blank page: the ✦ AI button in the header writes the template from a short brief (e.g. "post-op neutering in a dog") and, when there is already text, rewrites the whole template or just the selected passage.
- Tap Save.
On the phone, the template editor follows the same shape as prescriptions and documents: a slim bar at the top gathers close, undo/redo, zoom, ✦ AI, the ⋯ menu and save (✓); and a bottom panel — tap it (or drag it up) — holds the template name, the prescription type and the Print layout switch. With the layout on you see the A4 page exactly as the PDF prints it; off, the text fills the screen width so it is comfortable to write (display only — the PDF does not change). If you tap save before naming the template, the panel opens on its own with the caret already in the name field.
Because a template has no patient, the AI has no species or weight to dose against: it writes the posology the way a template should — the reference dose in mg/kg — and leaves bracketed gaps (e.g. [weight] kg) wherever only the visit can decide. Nothing reaches the paper until you review it and tap Apply.
Save an existing prescription as a template
Happy with a prescription you just wrote? Open it and, in the ⋯ (more actions) menu, tap Save as template. Give it a name and you're done: the text is saved as a template — the patient's data stays out, the template is always neutral.
Edit and delete
On the template's card (Templates tab), the ⋯ menu offers Edit and Delete. Editing a template does not change the prescriptions you already created from it — each prescription keeps its own copy of the text.
Good to know
- Templates are personal: each vet only sees their own, even inside a clinic with a team.
- There are no built-in system templates — medication content is your clinical decision.
- The AI is still available: inside a prescription created from a template, the ✦ AI button and Mima adjust the text as usual.
