We have technology and wellness care down pat. So then, why are we so slow to empower veterinary nurses? They are capable of so much more. Doctors, it’s your move.
Not preparing for a risk-management survey could cost you the chance to lower your insurance premiums. Not permitting a visit might mean a policy cancellation.
Rather than being overwhelmed by a unique and daunting situation, practices and their owners seemed to tap into their inner reserves and resources and then meet the challenges with agility.
Give yourself a well-deserved and well-justified break by assigning some of your tasks to people qualified to take them on. Everyone from your patients to your staff will benefit, and so will your clinic.
One-and-done promotional campaigns won’t sustain a valued revenue source. Email reminders, creative social media posts and an enthusiastic practice team can bring drug sales back to you.
Retaining pet owners is more challenging in a fragmented market, but you’d do well to be transparent about vaccine prices, send multiple reminders and launch a subscription wellness plan.
Demand for virtual care is soaring. The ever-expanding field of teleconsulting and telemedicine has options galore for any size practice. You just need to investigate and choose a partner.
Subscription programs keep pet owners stocked with therapeutic diets. Veterinary practices still profit from food sales and aren’t responsible for maintaining a large inventory.
