How to "UNSPAM" Emails

How to "UNSPAM" Emails

This is the procedure to take when important emails go to the junk folder.

Do not try to handle it on the “Mail” program on your desktop.  You have to login on the gmail account that dumps emails in the spam folder on the GMAIL website.

Email communications

Email Communications

Email is the primary mode of communications for routine matters within the office and between doctors and office personnel.

When emailing a staff or doctor, always use their email @homepeteuthanasia.com.

Please note that the @homepeteuthanasia.com email system is a domain that is for use for work related matters and that can be monitored by the HPESC executives.  For this reason, do not use your @homepeteuthanasia.com for personal/private matters.

Doctors texting clients

Doctors texting Clients

If clients request that the doctor text them, please let the clients know that our doctors cannot text.  They can call.  They will call from a blocked number, but no texts as texting will reveal their personal phone number and it is against our policy for our clients to have access to our doctors’  or staff’s personal phone number.

Communications handlings for Urgent v/s Routine matters

Communications Handlings for Urgent v/s Routine matters

Guidelines for when to call your manager or Dr. Annie outside of regular hours.

We are fortunate to have a dedicated, hard working ED who is willing to be contacted outside of hours if you need help.  However, I want to make sure that this is not being abused and that she is not being contacted for non-urgent matters.

I want to establish a guideline for what circumstances genuinely call for pulling her out of her personal time to handle work related matters.

Key Words

Key words


Key: a thing that provides a means of gaining access to or understanding of something. 

Therefore, key words are very important in order to understand a subject.  If you don't understand the key words of a subject, you are liable to misunderstand things that people are trying to communicate to you and make mistakes or "appear stupid".  

Euthanasia:  See definition and description on website.

Communication, HPESC

Communication

Communication is our primary tool for helping families through the loss of their pet.  It is important to learn the basic components of communication and to practice (drill) them so that you can control your communication with grieving Pet Parents.  We will also help you practice various situations that can come up in the course of speaking to clients.
