Treatment Request (TR) Form

Treatment Request (TR) Submission Form

The Treatment Request (TR) Submission Form is where front line caregivers begin the process of reporting an issue and requesting a treatment protocol to be initiated.  Each request immediately becomes part of a communication and approval process where curatorial teams and veterinarians have the opportunity to review, amend, and approve/reject each request.  All requests are archived in the Treatment Request Log where they will be assigned "start" and "complete" dates to track progress.

When creating a Treatment Request, there are three "types" of TR's that can be submitted:

1. Area/Exhibit:  used to request treatment on an entire system or habitat;
2. Individual: used to target treatment to a single specimen; and
3. Collection:  used when targeting treatment to an entire collection.

Depending on which type you choose, the data fields available in the form will differ slightly.  Below are instructions on filling out each type.
