The magic management formula for getting stuff done at your veterinary clinic

There's never enough time to knock out all the management tasks at your practice, right? Here's help: Get organized and follow this approach from Fetch dvm360 conference speaker Dave Nicol, BVMS, MRCVS, and you may be able to squeeze it all in. It's as easy as this:

1. Find out what is happening and why it's happening: Get to the bottom of what needs addressed

2. Decide what you're going to do about it: Establish a clear objective

3. Create an action list: Define the steps necessary to take care of whatever is in front of you

4. Review: If the objectives are met, move on; if not, circle back to #2
