Our Commitment to Excellence
CAPNA is committed to excellence in medicine, surgery, and practice management. CAPNA is developing programs and protocols in the following areas of practice operations:
Medicine and Surgery
CAPNA is comprised of shareholders who have developed an advanced expertise in multiple areas of practice, including Theriogenology, Laparoscopy, Arthroscopy, Orthopedic Surgery, Soft Tissue Surgery, Internal Medicine, Exotic Animal Medicine, Behavioral Medicine, Geriatrics, Dentistry, and Feline Medicine.
The Medical and Surgical division of CAPNA is focused on one goal: to set and achieve the highest standards of medical and surgical care for CAPNA hospitals. The Chief Medical Officer, R. Steven Taylor, DVM, ACVIM and his team are committed to capitalizing on the talent within the CAPNA practice group by sharing the unique experiences, knowledge levels, specialties, and leadership developed within each practice. CAPNA is dedicated to the ongoing creation and improvement of medical protocols within CAPNA practices as well as the development of comprehensive training programs.
Human Resources
The most successful practice model is built on the ability to meet and exceed client expectations consistently. Clients expect veterinary practices to deliver high quality care in a professional, clean hospital environment, with a staff that is attentive, service oriented, and caring. The challenge of delivering such a high level of care requires solid ‘people management’. Staff recruitment, training and effective HR management is central to practice success. All practice leaders within CAPNA understand the importance of developing the competencies of Veterinarians and support staff.
The CAPNA HR management team consists of 5 CVPM’s (Certified Veterinary Practice Manager), three CPA’s (Certified Public Accountants), PHR (Professional in Human Resources) accredited professionals, selected staff of Owen E. McCafferty, CPA, Inc, and experienced CAPNA CEO’s throughout CAPNA practices.
Chart of Accounts and Financial Benchmarking
CAPNA has developed a detailed chart of accounts in conjunction with a web based software system permitting virtual data sharing. The CAPNA COA’s are currently in use in CAPNA practices.
Marketing
The best marketing ideas are developed and executed locally. CAPNA is in the process of compiling ‘best practices’ for marketing programs that address the opportunities within each practice geographic and market area.
