This has infested veterinary practices. Vet costs have increased 8-12% annually for 4-5 years now. The process approaches the vet saying their integrated back office system will save you local personnel and allow the vet to increase client service hours by wasting less on admin. Their system fractures a vet visit into service actions - each of which has a fee. They create a medication factory where a bottle of 100 tablets that cost $1 each becomes $5 a tablet, plus a dispensing fee. Over the past 6 years this has increased vet bills by 50-80%.
Sadly, this brings people to abandon pets because they can not afford vet bills = death for the pet or a hard/short life as a stray. This private equity has also infested dentistry, which shows up as more dental bankruptcies as more people choose extraction over implants/root canals.
