SUMMARY:Online Course - Starts 2/21/24 - Lifesaving by the Numbers: Effective Population Management in Animal Shelters - VIN (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Course Information:\nProactive population management is a cornerstone of health and welfare for shelter populations. Reducing length of stay in animal shelters reduces the risk of infectious disease\, as time in the shelter is the top risk factor. Behavioral welfare is improved when animals spend less time in the shelter. \nStrategies to reduce length of stay include daily population rounds\, tracking animal flow through the shelter and removing bottlenecks\, pathway planning\, open selection\, managed admissions\, and fast-tracking of highly adoptable pets. The course will also cover practical strategies to build efficiency in medical programs\, as many of the common bottlenecks are related to the provision of veterinary care. Additionally\, while daily population rounds are crucial for collaboration across shelter teams and are key to ensuring animals keep moving on their shelter pathway\, they can be challenging to implement\, particularly in large shelters. \nPresenter: Erin Katribe\, DVM\, DABVP (Shelter Medicine Practice)\nCourse Open: February 21-March 9\, 2024\nReal Time Sessions (RTS): Wednesday\, February 28\, 2024; 8:00-10:00 pm ET (USA) World Clock Converter\nTotal CE Credit: 2\nRACE Category: 2 hours Medical \nLearning Objectives: Upon completion of the course\, the participant should be able to \n\ndiscuss the benefits of reducing length of stay on individual animal health\, lifesaving capacity of the shelter\, and individual animal behavioral welfare.\ndefine capacity for care in a shelter.\ndiscuss how to determine average or median length of stay.\ndefine pathway planning.\ndDiscuss the following strategies for reducing length of stay:\n\nPathway planning\nFast-tracking\nOpen selection\nManaged intake/admissions and intake diversion\n\n\ndiscuss the goals and practical implementation of daily population rounds.\ndiscuss the importance of tracking key metrics in shelter populations\, including length of stay\, intake and outcome metrics\, and disease incidence metrics.\n\nLevel and Prerequisites: This basic VIN CE course is open for enrollment to veterinarians and veterinary technicians/technologists interested in strategies to reduce length of stay while also reducing infectious disease spread in the shelter setting. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.vin.com/ce/SHEL102-0224.htm
