Productive Management For Practice Owners, Office Managers and Staff Gerry Snyder VMD Our Schedule Why are we not succeeding in making our practices more profitable? Overview of veterinary economics. Productive Staff Management for Optimum Productivity. Increasing ethical medicine income with enhanced communications. The Surgeon General cautions you �Taken properly, the recommendations of this seminar could increase your practice's net revenues by 50-90% within 90 days. The Average American Practice Is Losing 20-30% of potential, ethical income each and every day, week month and year!In a $450,000, two doctor practice, bottom line loss is $120,000/year Look Around You !!Statistically, one in three animal hospitals may fail in practice by 2005 or earlier. Do You Know Why ??Veterinarians will fail to achieve their full success potential for one reason only. "The Average American Practice Is 27 Days Away From BANKRUPCY""No Cash Reserves" ... Bank of America Rough Ride ?The Bad News Pet populations are stable (NO GROWTH). Number of vets in private practice rising. Number of pets per veterinarian decreasing. New technology keeps pets healthier longer = fewer visits to our hospitals. Most Practice Owners Believe � The majority of pet owners are poor people. Mongrels deserve less than the best care. Clients are the best judge of what pet needs. Fact: The majority (54%) of your clients make more than their veterinarian! The Best Pet � What Is It? Goes where you go! Eats what you do! Never needs vaccinations! Keeps you slender! Eliminates bowels/urine in convenient place! Needs no exercise! No grievance counseling needed when dies! The Worst Pet � What Is It?12 Most Common Veterinary Exercises Jumping to conclusions. Climbing the walls. Throwing their weight around. Dragging their heels. Going over the edge. Picking up the pieces Beating around the bush. Wading through paperwork. Bending over backwards. Running around in circles. Putting their foot in their mouth. Starting the ball rolling. Healthy Practices Grow 15% annually in gross revenues ATF grows 10-15% annually Receivables less than 3 weeks gross No bills left over at month's end
The Average American Practice Has 5-15% fewer client transactions this year!Today's two doctor "productive practice," generates $679,000/year and nets $273,000 working 40-45 hours/week. In a $450, two doctor practice, bottom line is $143,000. loss is $120,000/year.
Prosperity Until 2008 Then ? 76 Million Baby Boomers begin to hit 55 in 2001 (kids grown & gone) will place 80% of extra earnings in stock market. 2009 will begin the reverse trend as retirees draw down their funds for living expenses. Drug Prices Are Rising
Labor Costs Are Rising
Fewer Plan To Expand
Sales Are Slipping !!
Did You Know?In any given area, the top 54% of clients earn more than their veterinarian. Major Changes Yet To Come 70% reduction in Vaccination income Insurance Plans (Good!) HMO (Bad!) Increased Demand for Staff Benefit Plans Associate Shortage 13% client loss/year is normal, but not being replaced AVMA Job Market Study "Small Animal Practices Deliver Services Very Inefficiently With Respect To Overhead, Staff Utilization and Investment." "Veterinarians Lack The Skills To Maximize Economic Success." "There Are Too Many Veterinarians Competing and Driving Fees Down." "No Increase in pet ownership last five years." Veterinarians Have Lower Self-Esteem Than Needed To Fulfill Their Potential. Pet Spending Will Exceed The CPI By 196% From 1998-2015. Spending In Real Dollars Will Increase 8.9% Annually. Vet Salaries Will Remain Low Until 2015. What about staff salaries ???? "Most Veterinarians are introverts and do not have well developed people skills. Yet, their ability to relate to clients is the single biggest determinant of their success!"Show Sincere Interest in ClientWe are not in the pet business � The most important tool is to take an interest in people.Show a sincere interest and harvest an immediate expansion in your level of fulfillment.Average Net Income Dentists net an average of $128,000 Optometrists net an average of $89,000 Veterinarians net an average of $59,000 Why the Huge gaps ??? These other professions more fully utilize the skills, talents and abilities of their health care team members. They leverage and delegate. Veterinary fees are woefully inadequate. Multiply Yourself The number of eye exams per Optometrist has increased 50% from 1,413 to 2,123 The Most Successful Veterinary Practices Have 3.5 or more FTE per Veterinarian The average veterinary practice has only 2.96 FTE . Staff Per Veterinarian 0.156 Certified Technician 1.3 Assistants 0.85 Receptionists 0.1 Office Managers 0.15 Others TODAY 2.55 staff/Dr. Impact of Hygienist* Leverage Additional patient visits per week 23 Number of work weeks per year 50 Additional patients per year 1,150 Average Transaction Fee $122 Increased gross income $140,300 Increase in NET income $84,180 * Read as exam room technician We Are A Fixed Cost Business Maximize capacity utilization. Maximize use of scarce or finite resources. Leverage and delegation are critical. To increase profits, focus on the top line. You cannot save yourself into affluence. Managing seasonality is critical. Many pets don't get best care because their vet is not a pet advocate.Don't think about sales! Think only about the fate of this patient, if you are unable to convince the Pet Owner to treat the disease! Many veterinarians see themselves as craftsmen who just want to work on the pet. They do not see themselves as leaders of a staff team who, in turn, give them an opportunity to practice their skills. The veterinarian does not have to be the leader of the business !!!! The veterinarian does, however, have to understand the system for managing the practice and monitoring its progress. To Increase Demand For Services Increase the pet population. Increase the number of pet owners. Increase the number of pets receiving regular veterinary care. Expand services to existing clients. Veterinary Market StudyPet owners said that they would pay an average of $92/month ($1,104/yr) to keep their pet healthy. Every Practice Needs A ManagerEvery manager needs to report to the veterinarian weekly on the status of the practice. 1. Status of staff performance and morale. 2. Status of staff training programs.
1. Steps being taken to resolve any staff problems. 2. Unresolved client issues and proposed solutions.
1. Positive and negative fluctuations in practice vital signs. BurnoutBurnout is a zillion little things acting up!! We can't stand early clients, late clients, walk-ins, re-schedulers, no-shows, clients unable to pill, clients and pets who piss and crap in the exam room! Stress and BurnoutSelf Fufillment is the only prevention of burnout! Why Work Saturday? 53% have taken time off when pet is sick. 56% have taken off 1-2 days for pet illness. Saturday is Sick Pet Day Most practitioners lose money on Saturday. Patient exams are poorest on Saturday. ATF and Profit is lowest on Saturday. Best clients are not Saturday appointments. Practices net more when closed on Saturday. Very rare is the sick Saturday pet! Practicing on Saturday usually a disservice to pet. Staff needs weekend rests too! Saturday should be a holiday schedule. Practicing on Saturday usually a disservice to Doctors and staff. Veterinary Productivity Mission StatementWhen you combine professional improvement and progress with personal fulfillment, you begin to create what most veterinarians and staff would consider a dream life.

Canine OHE 439% Canine Neuter 365% Feline OHE 324% Feline Neuter 199% Chem Panel 195% X-Ray Study 352% CBC 94% Urinalysis 79% There are three rules that veterinarians must never be allowed to forget!Rule #1Clients will never pay a consultation fee that approaches even 1/3 of the worth of our education, experience, investment and devotion. Rule #2Our fees for services need bear no relation to economic rules or profit center analysis. Our fees are merely a reflection of our clients totally inappropriate perceptions of relative values as required to compensate for the damage caused by Rule #1. Rule #3 Because our fees are the composite formed by past medical history and current physical examination, it is impossible to correctly determine a fee for service without examining the patient. Therefore, no estimates can be given over the phone. Change Is Not An Option !!

Keeps you keyed to thoroughness. Brings associates into conformity. Loved by clients who "finally understand." Incomplete Exams Misdiagnosis. Missed diagnosis. Loss of client confidence. Client discrimination. Poor exams = poor net profit !! More mistakes made by not looking than by not knowing ! Clients retain only 20% of what they hear � but 80% of what they see! Perceived Exam Thoroughness Instrumentation = "STOP" = Stethescope + Tonopen + Otoscope + PAM. Verbalization during exam. Client observation. Pet Exam Report Card. Coat & Skin Mouth & Teeth Appears normal Scaly Infection Matted Itchy Dry Tumors Parasites Appear Normal Tartar buildup Loose Teeth Periodontitis Painful Tumors Pyorrhea Abscessed The Thorough Practice is the Most Profitable PracticeThe only effect of trying to compete with pet stores is to increase your inventory costs, and decrease your profit margin. Make medical decisions... There is enough pathology present today to keep all of us busy working overtime for a lifetime ! Clients Have Options Accept your recommendation. Think about it. Get another opinion. Talk to their spouse. Reject the recommendation. Procrastinate and do nothing. Your Client Does Not Care How Much You Know �. Until �..They Know How Much You Care Clients have to know � What's wrong. What caused it. Probable outcome untreated. What can be done about it. Will it hurt. How long will it take. How much will it cost. Do You Believe? That dental disease is bad for a pet's health? That absorbed bacteria from the mouth is the cause of liver, kidney & heart disease? That dental disease causes oral pain? That dental disease can shorten a pet's life? That dental disease is preventable? That you are communicating these facts? Dentistry Script"Mrs. Jones, Fluffy has problems! Her mouth is sore and infected! The pus is being absorbed, spreading to her heart, liver and kidneys! This will really shorten her life!

They form their opinion based on � Parking lot Landscaping Building Signs Front Door Initial eye contact Floors Walls Art Colors Odors Documentation Receptionist's uniform Staff personality Doctor personality Fairness of bill What's your reception area like? Dog screaming in the back producing psychosis! Your idea of a high quality reception area is one that can be hosed down?

After break-even point, average client adds 12.1 x ATF in pure profit over 4.3 years. (1.58x2.2x4.3x0.81) Disenchanted clients have big mouths. What would you do if you found out that syringes were no longer being manufactured ??? You would take utmost care to preserve the syringes you now have. You would train your staff in conservation methods and personally oversee their care. It is 6 times more expensive to attract a new client than to retain a current client. 99.999% of households receiving the yellow pages directory will never bring a pet to you!!! Yellow pages display is a waste of your marketing dollar. Increase client bonding � Explain consumer benefits. Send a welcome note. Send a newsletter. Telephone progress reports. Recheck everything. Survey satisfaction. Invite for a 6 month checkup. Ask For Referrals Plaque in every exam room asking for referrals � Please send us your \friends. Veterinarian must give out referral cards personally. Reward referrals with a thank you note and a gift at their next visit. "This is just our way of thanking you for referring Mrs, X and her new puppy. (No discounts!). What Clients Really Want � Burdens lessened. Time saved. Correct answers to questions. Do business with friends. Shop from home. Less stress. Clients don't want Veterinary Medicine Most Important Client Errors Taking client for granted. Using technical jargon. Speaking too fast. Giving short clipped answers. Not reacting proactively to problem. Not showing that you care about a complaint. Being preoccupied by other tasks. Interrupting the client or no longer listening to them. Making snap judgements about the client's ability to afford services. Arguing with client. You gain more clients in 2 months by becoming interested in them than in 2 years trying to get others interested in you! Do Whatever It Takes To Help Your Client Have The Most Rewarding Relationship With Your Hospital Most Veterinary Staff Are Not There For The Money!We must make their participation in our hospitals as rewarding as possible. 65% Of Hospital Staff Is Negatively Motivated?

Role Playing Tells You � Quality of telephone skills. Level of ENTHUSIASM. Application of specific knowledge. Clarity of answer. Degree of practice and Doctor promotion. Unclear Goals/Priorities Owners seldom set goals. No task priorities. No regular mini-meetings to reinforce concepts. No monitoring of staff performance of tasks. Provide clearly written goals and priorities. Explain why goals benefit them, clients and you. Hold staff accountable but assign responsibility.

Identify characteristics and behaviors responsible for the financial success of individual veterinarians.
Determine which ones can be influenced.
Use the information to help the profession.
Veterinarians with greater financial knowledge earn more income.
The use of common business practices positively influences income.
There are certain personal characteristics associated with lack of financial success.
1. It's not who you are, it's what you do.
Behavior v. Personality
In veterinary medicine, income shows a much higher correlation to business practices than to personal characteristics.
2. Learning good medicine isn't enough.
Management Knowledge
The majority of practice owners don't understand financial terms, and don't use many standard business practices.

3. Your employees are a big factor in your success.
There's Money in HR
Of the 19 standard business practices measured, the three demonstrating the largest impact on income are staff resource related.
4. Veterinary medicine isn't just a profession; it's a service business.
People, Not Pets, Pick Vets
Clients can't judge your medicine, but they can, and will, judge your service.
"Low client waiting time" was one of the factors most associated with high incomes.
Clinic "atmospherics" also showed a significant relationship to income.

"Atmospherics"
This practice's external physical environment (e.g. building, landscaping and parking) convey a positive image consistent with this practice's objectives.
This practice's physical environment is designed to provide the client with information to enhance their satisfaction with the service experience.
This practice's interior d�cor reinforces the beliefs and positive emotional reactions that the pet owners seek for their pets.
Clients are given the opportunity to occupy their time (e.g. reading material) while waiting for their pets to be seen.
5. It doesn't pay to pre-judge your clients.
Clinical Scenario
A successful young professional, who has been a client of yours for some time, brings in a 12-year-old female terrier because the pet isn't feeling well and has been vomiting. After your initial exam and in-house tests, you diagnose advanced kidney failure. You discuss your diagnosis and the prognosis associated with such a diagnosis.
The client is obviously grieved by your findings and the prospect of losing the pet, a valued companion. You know from experience that the response to treatment is unpredictable and the pet may respond to therapy, may fail to respond, or may die, no matter what you attempt.
Two Versions
A successful young professional . . .
An elderly widow of modest means . . .
Treatment Alternatives
1) Referral to a specialist
2) Best in-house care with IV fluids, hospitalization, frequent lab monitoring, critical care, etc..
3) Next best in-house care with SQ fluids, hospitalization, symptomatic treatment
4) Least - SQ fluids and send home for out-patient care
Your Recommendation?
42% of veterinarians would bring up the subject of euthanasia as an alternative to treatment before letting the client bring it up.
Only 21% would recomment treatment over euthanasia.
Why?
Honestly don't think its going to do well even if you treat it?
Don't think the owner can afford to treat it?
Conditioned to anticipate that the owner won't want to treat it due to cost, age or whatever?
Don't recognize the real value this pet has to the owner?
Experience Makes A Difference
An Interesting Comparison
Typical U.S. 6-doctor practice
5-6 euthanasias per week.
Typical Japanese 6-doctor practice
1-2 euthanasias per year
Some Issues
What message are we sending to our clients?
What opportunities are we giving up to practice sophisticated medicine?
What present and downstream income are we foregoing unnecessarily?
6. It doesn't pay to pre-judge your patient.
7. Where you practice makes a difference.
Location, Location, Location
Size and socio-economic level of the community in which a practice is located have a direct impact on veterinarians' income.
"Practice where the pets are."
8. If you think you can succeed, you probably can.
Personal Characteristics Measured
Self-esteem
Cognitive orientation (thinking/logical v. feeling/emotional)
Fear of negative evaluation
Empathy
Need for interpersonal control
Judging v. perceiving personality
Two Characteristics Correlate With Income
High self-esteem
Overall, 4th highest correlation
Top 3: Years in Practice, Gender and Ownership
Self-esteem improves with age, experience
Fear of negative evaluation
The lower the fear, the higher the income
A measure of confidence
Student Results
First-year veterinary students measured higher on self-esteem than fourth-year students.
First-year students also showed less fear of negative evaluation than four-year students.
9. You won't get there unless you try.
Pay Satisfaction
A Word About Gender
Female veterinarians earn about 30% less than male veterinarians
Relationship holds true, even after adjustments for years of experience, hours worked.
Is low expectation a serious problem?
Issue: Increasingly, women will define the possible income level and perceived value of the profession.
10. Whoever told you that you can't make money in veterinary medicine lied.
