Episode Details

When hospitalized patients don’t have clear veterinary handoffs, treatments get delayed, communication breaks down, and teams end up frustrated. In this episode of the Uncharted Veterinary Podcast, Dr. Andy Roark and Stephanie Goss tackle one of the most common workflow headaches in veterinary hospitals: who takes ownership of hospitalized cases after day one? They dig into why confusion happens, how it impacts both patient care and client trust, and what leadership can do to put better systems in place. From separating doctor and nursing responsibilities to building buy-in and using rounds effectively, Andy and Stephanie share practical strategies that any hospital can adapt. If you’ve ever felt like your patients were getting “lost in the shuffle,” this conversation will give you clarity and tools to create consistency. Let’s get into this episode!
