How to Export Documents Using the Shepherd Integration

A step-by-step guide to exporting CoVet SOAP notes and visit documentation back to Shepherd as a Patient Note, with formatting and export-behavior notes.

Written by Mike Parent

Once a case is linked to a Shepherd appointment, you can export documentation from CoVet back to Shepherd as a Patient Note.


​


​

What Gets Exported

  • SOAP notes

  • Visit documentation

  • Discharge summaries

All content is exported as one Patient Note per export action.

Note: Notes export to Shepherd as a single patient note only, not into the S/O/A/P sections

Formatting Support

SOAP templates support rich text formatting in Shepherd.

Non-SOAP templates, such as summaries, do not support rich text formatting and are exported as plain text.
​

Content appears under the patient’s profile in Shepherd as a Patient Note.

Patient Notes can be found in Shepherd under: Patient Profile → ⋮ (three dots) → Add Note
