As you may know, the CVMA is a proud Associate Member of Partners for Healthy Pets (PHP) and we are very pleased to announce a collaborative program between PHP, Veterinary Medical Association Executives (VMAE) and our association to implement the concept of forward booking in all veterinary practices in California. CVMA is partnering with 45 other veterinary medical associations in the US and Canada to make a difference.

Why? We believe this initiative will have a significant impact on the health of your patients and your practice. This collaborative program focuses on the importance of forward booking, which simply means scheduling all patients’ next appointments before they leave your practice, regardless of the reason for their current visit. This includes medical progress exams and preventive healthcare exams.

Forward booking ensures your patients receive the highest quality care at the right time. The traditional way to schedule appointments for your clients is costly, time-consuming, and only 30% of your clients will respond. According to the 2015 AAHA State of the Union Report, 6 out of 10 pet owners said they would forward book their next appointment before leaving the practice.

You have probably been hearing about and maybe even considering implementing forward booking in your practice, but are not quite sure how to get started. With this program, you will have a straightforward, step-by-step process that provides the entire practice team with the skills necessary to be successful.

The CVMA provides you with all the tools to be successful. How do you get started? Click here.

The CVMA is very excited to provide this opportunity. Whether you are a practice owner or an associate veterinarian, we hope that you will help to carry the message forward about forward booking in your veterinary practice. The results will be healthier patients and a healthier practice!
