Challenges in Veterinary Medicine:
Navigating the multifaceted landscape of veterinary medicine presents numerous challenges, including team culture, dynamic scheduling, addressing the rising costs of advanced medical technologies, and staying abreast of the different ways to effectively empower employees.
Inventory Management:
Many people struggle with inventory management. A common goal is to keep active inventory under 20% of revenue. At VPS, we have extensive experience with inventory management and can help you with this process.
Remember, the only true variables in managing a profitable Veterinary Practice are the Cost of Goods and Payroll. The balance of the remaining expenses are fixed.
Team Culture and Team Building:
One of the biggest issues in most businesses is team building and culture. This is so critical to the success of attracting and retaining great team members. VPS can help set up processes to attract, train, and retain your team.
Dynamic Scheduling:
Most Veterinary Practices schedule procedures and appointments like everybody else in the industry without considering workflow and work balance. What if we could show you how to work smarter and not harder with dynamic scheduling? This empowers your team to do more with less effort, resulting in an efficient workflow.
Most Veterinarians have had very little business training.
VPS takes KPI (key performance indicators) to a new level. We will work with you to set up a dashboard designed around KPIs that you can use to monitor growth and profitability on a daily basis.
If you cannot measure it, you cannot manage it.
What About Accountability at Work?
Many practices lack complete job descriptions and training manuals. VPS will help draft and implement these documents. A trained staff is an empowered staff and this also creates accountability.
Dealing with a Toxic Environment:
Many of us have dealt with that person in our practice that we feel is too valuable to lose but contributes to toxicity at work.
During our visits we interview and observe and help identify common threads of concern. We can assist with those difficult conversations.
Technology in Veterinary Practice:
Staying on the cutting edge of technology is expensive and time-consuming. How do you decide what technology to add to your practice? How do you get the team onboard to utilize this technology? How do I calculate and get a ROI (return on investment).
VPS can walk you through this entire process. We have many years of experience successfully implementing technology, including CT scanners, ultrasounds, and therapy lasers.
Working with Veterinary Performance Solutions has been a positive, enlightening and rewarding experience. They have helped and guided us to be better as a leadership team and hospital. Change is always hard especially when you are tasked with getting everyone to buy in to it, with the help of the amazing VPS team the changes have been well received by everyone and transitions have been smooth. These changes have been and will continue to be monumental in the growth of our hospital!
