this will depend entirely how your inpatient sheet are designed, mine used to obviously include all medication and what nots. but we then had pain scores, and demeanor assessment charts, patient info, include feeding requirements, to the extent that basil requirements were calculated specifically for the condition,

I agree that the hospital sheet should be enough medically, but doesn't tell you much about the patient themselves. The hospital sheets will list treatment and plan etc, we also have a patient info sheet that list concisely food preferences, toileting habits, general temperament, likes/dislikes etc - I admit this is probably used more by the nurses than vets. We also do spot tests, get a member of staff who has had no contact with the case to read the forms and tell you what they think is going on with the patient. If they can grasp the treatment plan and generally what'shappening then you have enough info on the sheets.

I like hand over sheets - wish we had them where I work now, it means everything about your inpatients is easily accessible in a concise form and nothing gets missed

this is something that i have covered in practice a number of times, Vets requesting handover sheets. etc. but it was determined that was not a requirement. as your inpatient daily sheets should and must contain enough information as possible. where someone who has never been in contact with the case can just read the notes and carry on as required
