Essential Features for Vet Client App?

@Emma.Knight it is a valid concern about overwhelming the staff with too much information. In my experience, clarity trumps quantity. If staff cannot quickly find what they need during a busy day, it can lead to mistakes or delays.

have you thought about implementing customizable dashboards? This way, each user can prioritize what they see based on their role. For instance, receptionists might want quick access to appointment schedules, while vets need patient histories at their fingertips.

finding that balance between essential data and simplicity could be key. maybe you could run a few focus groups with potential users to see what they really want on their screens. That feedback could help you shape the app to fit their workflows better.

@Nicolas Thanks for bringing that up, clarity is definitely key... I have been thinking about how to prioritize info on the dashboard without overwhelming the team.

What do you think about using a customizable layout? I wonder if letting each staff member choose what they see could help keep things straightforward. Would that be practical in a busy clinic setting?

@Nicolas clarity is important, but there is also the risk of oversimplifying things. If you strip away too much, you might miss vital information that could help staff make quick decisions.

For instance, having an easy way to access patient history can be crucial in emergencies. if a vet is dealing with a critical case, they need to see everything relevant without digging through multiple screens.

It could help to think about a tiered approach, where the most critical information is front and centre, but users can access more detailed data quickly if they need it. That way, you get the best of both worlds.
