Space management and practice efficiency
Many of the protocols veterinary practices put in place during COVID-19 were essential to comply with regulations and protect our teams and clients. Now, as we continue to evolve, we need to evaluate these protocols and understand how they have impacted our operating systems and, in some cases, led to decreased efficiency. In this webinar, you’ll examine all components of the production chain, identify common sources of inefficiencies, and come away with recommendations to restore efficiency and enhance profitability.
This is the first webinar in a four-part series exploring strategies to improve practice efficiency. Part 2, “Leadership and practice performance" can be found here.
This on-demand webinar is made possible through educational funding from CareCredit.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Understand what space optimization is.
- Discover what a highly optimized practice space looks like.
- Learn how key performance indicators (KPIs) can be used to assess space utilization.
