Presented by: Courtney VanDoren

This interactive webinar provides veterinary professionals with a structured approach to assessing and improving their practice’s DEA compliance. Participants will learn to evaluate their current compliance status using a “compliance health” framework, covering key areas such as regulatory research, self-assessment, immediate action steps, and preventive strategies. The session includes guidance on utilizing compliance checklists and health score charts, along with a mock exam of a sample hospital to illustrate practical application. The goal is to equip attendees with actionable steps to achieve and maintain optimal DEA compliance.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify and utilize resources for researching essential DEA regulations and legal requirements relevant to veterinary practice.
2. Conduct a self-assessment of their practice’s DEA compliance status using a provided compliance checklist and health score chart.
3. Categorize their practice’s compliance health (e.g., critical, serious, fair, excellent) based on assessment findings.
4. Develop and implement immediate action steps to address identified compliance deficiencies.
5. Formulate and apply preventive care strategies to ensure ongoing DEA compliance.
6. Apply the compliance assessment process through a mock exam of a sample veterinary hospital.
7. Create a compliance preventive care schedule to facilitate long-term maintenance of compliance health
