...Veterinary Office Software There is a multitude of planning and purchasing that goes with opening any business, including a veterinary practice of any size. One of the necessary purchases that can have a major impact on the efficiency of a veterinary clinic is what software program will be used by the clinic. There are many different software programs available on the market today, and it can be a daunting task to select the one that would work the best for a particular hospital. There seems to be an unlimited mixture of choices and features, giving customers the chance to decide what is most important to them and their particular practice. Three programs stood out to me as I did some research, and those three are Infinity, Intravet, and DVMAX. Infinity by Impromed, which also produces several other software brands, claims to be” The oldest developer of business and medical management software for the veterinary industry”The company began producing veterinary office software in 1979. In 2011 Impromed joined forces with Henry Schein Animal Health. Intravet is the creation of Patterson Companies Incorporated, which is based in Effingham, Illinois. Patterson Companies is a specialty distributor serving veterinary, dental and rehabilitation supply markets. DVMAX is a division of IDEXX Laboratories.

...Executive Summary Paws Palace Pet Clinic is experiencing a high influx of new patients for Dr.Bill Schulke and his wife/manager, Sue Schulke. The opportunity of prospective new patients and profits is wonderful if all new patients could be attended to. The problem lies in the simple question, would a veterinary assistant be necessary in order to treat all patients and still keep profits soaring up for the clinic? Using Monte Carlo simulation and distributions fitting using the @Risk software, the below report will showcase how a veterinary assistant is the best option for the clinic’s future and will double their profits annually. Background Paws Palace Pet was initiated by Veterinarian, Bill Schulke, along with his wife/office manager, Sue Schulke. In the beginning two years of their practice, they would work regularly scheduled business hours of 8:30am to 5:30pm. Over the last year they have experienced a growth in patients and have found the need to work past regular hours. Bill has created a policy for self-preservation, he will take the last patient at 7:00pm and if there are any remaining patients, they would need to return the following day. Although working past hours has allowed profit and gain in patients, at the end of the day, Bill still has 2-5 patients left without attention. This then results in lost patients who do not return again the following day and it also results in loss in potential profits. His wife, Sue, was instructed to keep track of 100...

...CASE STUDY: THE VETERINARY PRACTICE Background. Simon Harrison has run a successful veterinary practice for many years from a large Victorian semi-detached house in a smart suburb of a large English town, about 30 miles from London. The practice caters for small animals. There are two qualified vets in Simon and his son Joe, who joined the practice a few years ago, and is now a partner. There is a senior veterinary nurse Ros, and two trainee nurses Rukia and Kath, plus Simon’s wife Anna, who, as a qualified nurse herself, plays an active role part-time. All the nursing staff have to act as receptionists too at times. There are two consulting rooms, one operating theatre /X-ray room, a drugs storeroom, a reception /office area, and a small waiting room. One problem at the current location is that vehicle parking by clients is very difficult in the busy, congested street. Simon is nearing retirement age but does not want to fully retire yet and would like to become part-time, with his son playing a larger role and the practice taking on a younger, more recently qualified vet. Joe is keen to do this but, as we will see below, has more ambitious plans, and if Simon were to agree, there are a number of aspects and activities of the practice that could be altered and improved at the same time. Even though veterinary services can be very expensive, the demand for them in the area is growing quite rapidly, as more people have pets and more people take out insurance for...

...GenieTech, one of the company’s two current cartridge suppliers. No The decision between in-house development and external acquisition was critically important. Bergerac was growing fast—averaging 17% annually since 2007—but it remained a small player with limited resources in a very competitive market, and Wyckoff was determined to avoid a costly mistake. He had to make a decision quickly, as the supply of OmniVue cartridges had been inconsistent in recent months. Indeed, the veterinary practice that Wyckoff had just visited had recently been frustrated by a temporary stock-out at their distributor. To maintain Bergerac’s growth trajectory, it was imperative for potential customers to have full confidence in the company’s ability to deliver on its promises. Furthermore, the contract with the other cartridge supplier, Elsinore Plastics, would come up for renegotiation in August 2010—a mere three weeks away.

History of Brant Animal Hospital Professional Corporation Brant Animal Hospital is a well-respected veterinary practice operating in Burlington Ontario. Brant opened its doors in 1985 as a satellite operation to an established veterinary practice, Tyandaga Animal Clinic in Aldershot. Ross Petersen and Elizabeth Shaw, the two founding veterinarians of Brant, were in partnership with two other veterinarians at Tyandaga Animal Clinic. They saw Brant as an opportunity to establish a new practice without risking their current operation by breaking into a new market, and hoped eventually to be able to practice full time from Brant Animal Hospital and sell their ownership in Tyandaga Animal Clinic. Unfortunately for Petersen and Shaw, their part-time efforts yielded part-time results. After five years, they were still unable to operate Brant Animal Hospital on a full-time basis. The operation could afford to have staff available only in the afternoons, equipment was underutilized, and stock was...
