Up-to-date data about U.S. veterinary practices

Your veterinary practice's business performance affects everything from doctor and team pay to the level of medical care you can provide and the investment in medical equipment you can make. Now Veterinary Economics is partnering with Sikka Software to help you track trends in practice performance with real-time data on dvm360.com relating to key veterinary performance indicators, including:

> New patients per month

> New clients per month

> Monthly total revenue

> Average charge per transaction/invoice

> Number of patients undergoing anesthesia in a month

> Number of urine/fecal tests per month

> Number of cases per month with gastrointestinal diagnoses

> Number of cases per month with neurological diagnoses

> Number of cases per month with urological diagnoses

> Number of cases per month with cardiac and respiratory diagnoses

These benchmarks are developed through comprehensive analysis of data gathered in real time from thousands of practices. Outliers are eliminated to increase relevance and data confidence. Sikka reports the data by practice, rather than by doctor or provider. The average practice included in the data set employs 2.4 full-time-equivalent doctors.

Sikka Software also offers Practice Mobilizer, a free and secure app that helps you stay connected to your practice. This easy-to-use app includes video, text and picture messaging; fee data for your geographical region; estimated patient arrival times; key performance indicators to help you monitor practice performance; and more. You can download Practice Mobilizer in the Apple App or Google Play store.
