Metrics
Business Metrics vs. KPI's
We recommend that you use dashboards to report on the two basic types of veterinary business metrics: business metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s). What’s the difference? Business metrics are your business objectives: Monthly, quarterly and annual revenues; revenues from dental exams, the mix of dogs, cats and exotics in your practice. KPI’s are measures of activity that impact your business objectives: new patients added per month, number of dental exams per month, average wait times, revenue generated per doctor.
Metrics are the standards by which that you measure your performance:
- Current budgets and cash flow, and projections for 1 to 3-5 years out
- Fee/Practice cost profitability analysis
- Market fee analysis
- Marketing and Social media reviews to meet growth targets
- Cornerstone software or other PMS support to turn data about KPIs and financial indicators into usable information
- Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that impact your operational and financial performance
- Practice operational and financial trend analysis, and compared to other similar practices and industry standards
- Physical and software inventory management for profitability
- Decision-making for equipment purchase and major cash outlays
- Salary and total compensation analysis for doctors and staff
- Compensation/benefits package design
- Prepare and align your practice for your exit strategy
