Daily Rounds: How to Decrease Length of Stay
About this Webinar
Let's ask every animal, every day: What can we do for you today? Introducing daily rounds in your agency (or polishing up a process already in place) can be an excellent first step in getting started with decreasing your Length of Stay (LOS).
Structured daily rounds are the foundation for improving animal care, reducing unproductive waiting time, and saving more lives. Daily rounds are an essential tool for serving the animals, recognizing their needs, and making decisions. Daily rounds also help you keep the pulse on your organization.
