During an interview with dvm360 at the Fetch Kansas City conference in Kansas City, Missouri, Kelley Detweiller, and Peter Weinstein, DVM, MBA, explain why veterinary professionals most likely feel like keeping up with their logbooks is tedious, and how DEA registrants within clinics can make the process easier for themselves and their clinic.

Below is a partial transcript:

Peter Weinstein, DVM, MBA: The problem is, if you think it's tedious and you don't do it, you're at high risk of exposure, which could be a fine, or it could be a loss of license. So the way to get around tediousity, and I don't know if that's a word, but I'm using it anyhow, is to learn how to use your staff and delegate appropriately and legally, and have them do as much as they can within the guidelines of the DEA and Kelley is also big on advocating for staff delegation is what can staff do to help decrease the tedious

Kelley Detweiler: What you want to do is you have to put in the time and the work to memorialize standard operating procedures processes, and then you have to train your personnel on them, because it's not possible to be everywhere at once.

So teach, train, and empower your team to work for you, but you [have] got to put in the work.
