Running a compliant and profitable practice are not two oppositional concepts. In fact, it's important to understand how to produce quality documentation, provide quality care and operate that practice in a way that rewards this effort. From NCLC 2018, this presentation is designed to challenge doctors of chiropractic to make business decisions that drive quality outcomes in patient management and the profitability of the office. If the success of your office is determined by your check book balance each month, then you need to reconsider your approach to running your office.

From NCLC 2018- patients reports of outcomes and experiences (PROMs & PREMs) with care can be used to help improve health outcomes, communication between patient and chiropractor and to transparently promote the use of chiropractic services. This session will present the evidence behind the use of PROM/PREM for the care of individual patients as well as for enhancing development of clinical services.

From NCLC 2018, this panel provides attendees with an overview of the key medical, surgical and behavioral specialties most likely relevant to chiropractic practice and will leave attendees with a deeper understanding of the similarities and differences in the training and typical practices of these medical providers. This will enhance a chiropractor’s ability to collaborate and increase participation in team-based care. Integrated care offers a solution to increasing health care costs by improving access to patients and increasing capacity of mental health care providers. The presenters will discuss the relevance of practice transformation with an overview of existing collaborative care models.

We live in the information age, and knowledge is power. For health care especially, data has become the hottest topic. The most important piece of data for a clinician can often be a clinical practice guideline, which provides the ammunition to win every day in practice. For this reason, it is critically important for chiropractors to take advantage of the latest clinical research and leverage it in growing your practice. By unlocking high-quality research and seamlessly integrating it into your clinical and marketing processes, you can become THE health care leader in your community.

This webinar will teach you to: 

 • Maximize compliance through patient education; 

 • Fight insurance company denials and get paid for the value you are delivering; and 

 • Increase physician referrals.

The terms evidence-based or evidence-informed have become ubiquitous in modern society. However, there is still a good deal of confusion as to what the terms really mean in health care. This program will go through the what, why and how of evidence-based clinical practice (EBCP).

Join Dr. John Stites for this informative introductory webinar.  Among the subjects explored will be the definition of EBCP, hierarchy of evidence, clinical questions, study types and foundations of critical appraisal. You might be thinking this is going to be a very dry presentation, but you will be surprised by how engaging the subject could be.

Tendon pain of the supraspinatus and biceps are common conditions seen in the chiropractic clinic. The pathology of tendon pain has changed considerably over the previous two decades, from an inflammatory pathology to an overload pathology. The current model of tendon pain is the continuum model, which states that tendon pain progresses from a reactive tendinopathy to a degenerative tendinopathy with prolonged overload. This webinar by Dr. Michael Braccio will discuss which treatments are most effective for each stage of tendinopathy and also how to progress a rehabilitation for supraspinatus and bicipital tendinopathy from isometric exercises to plyometric exercises.
