HVVMS CE Event: Superior Chronic Care Drives Successful Chronic Compliance
Event Details
Presented by: Danny Joffe DVM, DABVP
There’s no question the landscape of the veterinary profession has changed, with more competition—both traditional and alternative models—popping up almost daily. So how do you remain competitive in an oversaturated market? This program reiterates why good medicine and good compliance are good business, examining how to get away from transaction-based practice and refocus on relationship-based practice. It will provide clear-cut suggestions for developing trust with clients, creating compliant clients, and retaining those clients to drive practice success (especially important with chronic care cases). You’ll leave with tools to enhance the perceived value of your services and ultimately differentiate your practice.
Learning Objectives:
- Reinforce the care element in compliance and overall wellbeing of pets.
- Revisit changes in veterinary medication, and learn how to be patient centric so the economics will follow.
- Focus on chronic care patients, especially how to build the relationship.
- Understand how to support and enhance the perceived value to clients on various service offerings through decommoditization, making the owner part of the team, “door swings,” and setting expectations.
- Explore best practices and case study examples to walk through the process.
