Efficient and Proficient

A problem facing many veterinary practices as clients come back inside clinics is exam room efficiency.

Our profession’s future veterinarians have many questions and concerns.

Some issues complicating a practice manager’s job are within the person’s control, while others require a clinic owner’s involvement.

Rethink how you use veterinary team members and schedule appointments. Vendors can assist with some back-office tasks.

If you delegate something, you as the practice owner or manager are ultimately responsible for it. You must ensure that things are done correctly.

Charitable groups need to know that while you want to be supportive, your practice does not have unlimited funds.

Paying team members, increasing salaries, maintaining the clinic, purchasing new equipment and enhancing profits require you to increase your fees.

Bonding rate is the percentage of clients who return within 18 months of their last visit.

Our profession has done well during the pandemic. We need to continue to do well after it.

Not raising your fees annually or every six months is not a sound business decision.
