Practice Management: Fear-Free

Practice Management: Fear-Free™
At the NAVC Veterinary Conference in Orlando, Florida,
January 17–21, 2015, IDEXX will be sponsoring an all day
Fear-Free™ seminar showing veterinary healthcare
professionals that by taking the “pet” out of “petrified,” you
can put pets back into practices. To boost practice net income
by up to 43% (what's been seen in some Fear-Free hospitals),
you just have to have pets’ physical well-being in one hand
and their emotional well-being in the other. The seminar will
feature Dr. Marty Becker speaking on keeping pets’ physical
and emotional well-being in our hands. Joining him will be
Mikkel Becker (living room to exam room), Dr. Ilana Rodan
(cats), Dr. Heidi Shafford (pharmacological options for
reducing fear), Louise Dunn (getting team buy-in,
implementation and operational training) and Fritz Wood
(from pheromones to phinancial statements—Fear-Free pays).
