Figure 1.

This figure highlights the importance of patient‐centered infection prevention in increasing the quality of care. In the tibial plateau leveling osteotomy example, the improved asepsis protocol will lead to less infections hence improve antibiotic stewardship. Furthermore, the lower complications (surgical site infections) post‐surgery will lead to faster rehabilitation and recovery, overall leading to improved outcomes (improved quality of life) and decrease costs. This is the basis at enhancing the value provided to our patients and clients through the value‐based veterinary care framework
