Retrieve and Send Horse Data with Hippos (Finland)

In Finland, Provet can connect to Heppa, the horse register of Suomen Hippos ry (Hippos). Use the Hippos integration to send a horse's vaccination data to Hippos and to retrieve a horse's details from Hippos. The Hippos integration is available only for clinics in Finland.

Requirements for the Hippos Integration

Check these things before you use the Hippos integration:

  • The Hippos integration is turned on in Provet.

  • The patient's species is horse.

  • The patient has a gender in Provet.

  • The patient has a register number or a Universal Equine Life Number (UELN) in the Register number field. To see this field, open the patient's Patient details tab and select More details.

  • If you send data to Hippos, the owner has given consent.

Open the Hippos Integration

In Finland, you open the Hippos integration from the patient page or the consultation page in Provet. The integration opens in a new browser tab. A page with a button for each association can open first. This depends on the setup of your clinic. The Hippos page has the heading “Sending information to the Suomen Hippos”.

The Integrations list also shows your clinic's other integrations, so the list is different in each clinic. Your clinic setup determines what is the name of the integration for the Finnish associations, and it can be for example Liitot: Kissaliitto, Kennelliitto, Hippos.

Open the Hippos Integration from the Patient Page

  1. In the top-right corner of the patient page, select Integrations.

  2. In the drop-down menu, select the integration for the Finnish associations.

  3. If a page with a button for each association opens, select Suomen Hippos ry.

Open the Hippos Integration from the Consultation Page

The steps depend on the version of the consultation page that you use.

On the new consultation page:

  1. In the right side-panel, select the Integrations button. To see the name of a button, hold the pointer over the button.

Match the Species and Gender for Hippos

  2. Select Save.

The integration saves your choices, so the next time the correct values are already selected. To change the values later, select Match code on the left side of the Hippos page.

Send Vaccination Data to Hippos

In Finland, you can send a horse's vaccination data from Provet to Heppa, the Hippos horse register. You need the owner's consent to send the data.

Vaccination Status Options in Hippos

When you send vaccination data to Hippos, select one of these vaccination statuses under Vaccinations:

  • Vaccinated according to the Hippos trotting race vaccination program.

  • Vaccination status is incomplete.

  • Vaccination status has not been checked.

7 Month Vaccination for SRL Horses in Hippos

In Hippos, the 7 month vaccination type is only for SRL horses. SRL is the Equestrian Federation of Finland. Select 7 month vaccination only if the horse is an SRL horse in Heppa. When you send this type, Heppa marks the horse as an SRL horse automatically. Check the status of the horse in Hippos before you send this type.

When you select 7 month vaccination, a red warning in Finnish shows in the top-right corner of the page: “HUOM! Tämä rokotustyyppi vain SRL-hevosille!” The warning means that this vaccination type is only for SRL horses.
