Client Retention

The clinic data you’ve always wanted
now exists.

VetRec captures what happens inside every appointment across your VPP network — every recommendation made, every client decision, every moment of hesitation. This report is a demonstration of what that data looks like in practice: what your doctors are seeing, what clients are accepting, and where growth is being missed.

What this report covers

Two data layers that matter most to VPP leadership

📊

Spectrum of Care Analytics

How clients across your network are responding to your doctors’ recommendations — approval rates, undecided items, top decline reasons, and the presenting problems driving the most volume. This is the clinical conversation layer that until now was invisible.

🤝

Client Retention Intelligence

How the data VetRec captures becomes a strategic asset for client loyalty. Sentiment tracking, follow-up flags, dental campaign conversion, and financial conversation rates — the signals that tell you which clients are at risk before they leave.

💡

The Strategic Opportunity

19,901 undecided recommendation items in the dataset represent the most direct revenue opportunity in this report. VetRec flags every one of them for structured follow-up. At scale across all VPP locations, this becomes a network-wide growth lever.

Why this data only exists because of VetRec

Every data point in this report was captured passively during normal clinical workflows. No extra charting. No manual input. No behavior change from doctors. VetRec listens, structures, and surfaces — giving VPP leadership a live window into clinical and client dynamics that no other tool in veterinary medicine provides at this level of granularity.

✔️ Captured during existing workflows ✔️ No behavior change required from doctors ✔️ Scales across every VPP location ✔️ Real-time dashboards for leadership ✔️ Clinic-level and network-level benchmarking

The Undecided Pipeline

19,901

recommendation items where the client did not say yes or no. Every one is a structured follow-up opportunity.

If even 15% of undecided items convert after follow-up, that represents approximately 2,985 additional approved recommendations network-wide.

Client Retention Intelligence

How VetRec data becomes a strategic asset for VPP’s network-wide client loyalty goals

The data that retains clients
already exists in your clinics.

Every missed follow-up, every undecided recommendation, every cost-decline, every appointment with negative client sentiment — VetRec captures all of it in real time. The insights below show what becomes possible when that data is systematically acted on across the VPP network. The dataset powering this report was generated by 15 clinicians. At scale across every VPP location, it becomes a genuine competitive advantage in client retention, care compliance, and revenue recovery.

📊
19,901
undecided items flagged

Undecided-to-Approved Tracking

27.8% of all recommendations are left undecided at the time of visit. VetRec flags every one of these for structured follow-up outreach, turning hesitation into booked appointments before clients book elsewhere.

💬
1,438
negative sentiment sessions detected

Sentiment-Triggered Outreach

Consults with negative client sentiment are automatically flagged. At scale, this becomes an early warning system — identifying at-risk clients before they quietly churn and never return.

🦷
1,656
dental conversations tracked

Dental Campaign Intelligence

20% of all consults include a dental conversation. VetRec tracks every client question, every undecided dental cleaning recommendation, and every follow-up flag — the full operational layer behind a dental revenue campaign.

💰
539
cost-declined items for financial outreach

Financial Friction Identification

Cost is cited in 13.3% of all declines. VetRec identifies these moments in real time, enabling proactive outreach with payment plan options or financial aid conversations before a declined recommendation becomes a lost client.

Negative sentiment
18.7% of sessions register negative client sentiment. Without VetRec, these clients leave the clinic quietly. With it, they trigger a follow-up flag. At VPP scale, systematic outreach to negative-sentiment clients is one of the highest-ROI retention moves available.

VetRec tracks when financial conversations happen — and when they should have
Insurance discussed366 sessions (4.4%)

Dental campaign raised1,656 sessions (20.0%)
What this tells us

Insurance is raised in only 4.4% of sessions despite 13.3% of declines citing cost as the reason. That gap represents a systematic missed opportunity in financial conversation. VetRec identifies which sessions triggered a cost-decline but no financial conversation — and flags them for follow-up or coaching.
