NCVEI unleashes economic benchmarks

The National Commission on Veterinary Economic Issues (NCVEI) has just released new analytical benchmarking and pricing tools.

Log onto the NCVEI Web site at www.NCVEI.org to try out these new tools. A visit to the NCVEI online "Exam Room" allows users to evaluate their practice and improve its financial health.

Users can input as little or as much data as preferred. The program provides instant results through a report card that includes charts and graphs.

Currently the tools are focused on companion animal practices, however, the NCVEI plans to release tools for large animal and food animal practices in the future.

The NCVEI is a collaboration of the American Veterinary Medical Association, American Animal Hospital Association, and American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges. Financial support for the tools is provided by Bayer; Hill's Pet Nutrition; Merial; Novartis; Pfizer; and Veterinary Pet Insurance.
