About Relationship Centered Practice®
Most practices do not have a strong business plan and operational model to adopt and follow the path of profitability and success. In this online course, members will be introduced to the Relationship Centered Practice, a comprehensive framework to create and optimize a thriving, profitable practice that is centered on the relationships it has with its clients, patients, and team. The components of the Relationship Centered Practice® will pave the way for veterinarians and teams to create and optimize a thriving, profitable practice that is centered on the relationships it has with its clients, patients, and each other. The Relationship Centered Practice® framework consists of the following five components, which are essential to practice success:
- Identify Your Compelling Vision and Strategic Plan
- Build a Self-Reliant Team
- Set Standards
- Create Systems A to Z
- What You Measure, You Can Improve
Just think about how your life and your business could be affected if you implemented the five components of the Relationship Centered Practice®. Others would be less dependent on you and other key stakeholders, and you would be free to focus on the things you love and are passionate about. Your practice would become systems-dependent (rather than you-dependent), grow in revenue and profits, and would ultimately become more valuable. Most importantly, the people and pets your practice serves would be better for it. You and your team would feel proud of what you had accomplished, and you would know your practice is the best it can be.
