Implementing Preventive Care Protocols

Preventive care is not a new concept, but implementing practice-wide protocols requires a systematic approach. Veterinary teams are already practicing some foundational forms of preventive care, such as annual physical exams and recommended vaccinations, but implementing an expanded set of preventive care protocols—including routine diagnostic screenings—can help practices care for patients and build even stronger client relationships. Our biggest stumbling blocks can be implementing new protocols and gaining client compliance. This publication will help you create and implement preventive care protocols, whether you’re starting fresh or honing existing offerings.
