Veterinary Prescription Origination
Prescriptions written in urVetMD can be sent to a pharmacy today. The owner picks the pharmacy, the pharmacy confirms receipt, fill and pickup, and refill requests come back to you to approve. Drug-interaction screening, cryptographic signing and state PDMP reporting are still planned. Controlled-substance prescriptions cannot be sent electronically; use a signed paper script or dispense in-house.
What We're Building
A three-stage pipeline from prescription origination to pharmacy fulfillment. Writing and routing work today; the verification step is planned.
Write
Write a structured prescription from the patient record in urVetMD. Drug, dose, species, weight, and route are captured as fields, not free text.
Verify Planned
Verify the prescribing veterinarian's license against The Vet Registry before the prescription is sent. (Controlled substances cannot be sent electronically at all.)
Route
Send the prescription to the pharmacy the owner chooses through AnimalRx. The pharmacy confirms receipt, fill and pickup, and you and the owner see each step.
Capabilities
Structured data, validated dosing, and pharmacy interoperability. Each item says whether it works today.
Structured Rx Format and Interaction Screening
The target architecture validates every prescription field — drug name from a vetted formulary, dose in range for species and weight, route confirmed for the dosage form. Interaction screening against the patient's active medication list is part of the same milestone.
- Species-specific formulary with dose range validation (planned)
- Drug-interaction screening against patient medication list (planned)
- Breed-specific contraindication alerts (planned)
Pharmacy Routing via AnimalRx
Prescriptions are routed into the AnimalRx pharmacy network today. Cryptographic signing of prescriptions is still planned.
- Pharmacy routing via the AnimalRx network
- Refill requests come back to the prescriber to approve or decline
- The owner sees each step as the pharmacy receives, fills and readies the prescription
- Cryptographic prescription signing Planned
Regulatory Roadmap
What is regulated, what is planned, and what is deliberately not offered.
Controlled Substances — Not Sent Electronically
Controlled-substance prescriptions (DEA Schedule II–V) cannot be sent electronically through VetScript. Write a signed paper prescription or dispense in-house.
State Prescription Monitoring (PDMP) — Future
PDMP reporting integrations are state-specific and require per-state certifications. We will publish a state-by-state availability map at launch. No state integrations are live today.
Record-Keeping — Today
Prescriptions are stored as structured records with a complete activity log (draft, authorization, routing). The signature column today is a tracking hash, NOT a cryptographic signature; cryptographic signing is planned.
Audit Trail — Today
Every action — draft, authorization, routing — is logged with timestamp and user identity at the time of action.
Integration
VetScript works inside urVetMD — no separate login, no duplicate data entry. PIMS integration is partly planned, as marked.
Native Integration with urVetMD
Prescriptions are written from the patient record in urVetMD, so there is no copy-paste between systems.
- Prescribe from the visit record
- Routing, fill and pickup status shown on the prescription
- Refill requests handled within the same workflow
PIMS and Pharmacy Network Compatibility
VetScript is designed to connect with ezyVet, Cornerstone, AVImark, and Vetspire via the urVetMD PIMS integration layer. Pharmacy routing through the AnimalRx network works today.
- PIMS patient records populate prescription fields automatically (planned)
- AnimalRx pharmacy network for routing and fulfillment
- Open network — no pharmacy exclusivity requirements (planned)
