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.

Drs. Ray Tuck and Jennifer Rathmann, senior practitioners from Tuck Chiropractic Clinic, share their personal experience being audited by Anthem last year: what Anthem took issues with and what the outcome was.  This webinar is intended to give you some valuable insights into Anthem’s audit process and how to proceed.

This webinar by Dr. Jordan Gliedt and Dr. Jesse Cooper will provide an overview of the biopsychosocial model of pain, how it relates to typical chiropractic patients, and how to optimally influence patient behavior and outcomes through the use of positive communication strategies during reports of findings and routine patient encounters. As the health care marketplace shifts toward an outcomes oriented model, this topic is of particular interest and relevance to the practicing chiropractic physician.

Upon completion of the Clinic Management On-Demand Learning Series, the learner will become knowledgeable on the following topics: 

· Verification of Benefits: Understand the necessary components of a properly executed verification of benefits and know instances when certain special questioning is needed. 
· Appeals: Understand the importance of appeals (including ERISA) and the basic process and follow through needed for optimum chances of overturning a denial. 
· Self-Audits: Be able to apply the information provided in order to help ensure necessary components of medical records are in place and self-audits are performed. 
· HIPAA: Be able to identify whether their clinic is in compliance with HIPAA’s basic changes, and will understand both consequences of a breach and notification requirements. 
· Provider contracts: Be equipped to confidently review and understand essential portions of provider contracts and what questions to ask of payers.

• Are you interested in learning how your practice stacks up with your peers in managing spine pain? With other professions?
• Are you interested in understanding how you can demonstrate evidence-based processes and positive outcomes for your patients to third-party payers?
• Do you have interest in the potential to qualify for high-performance networks seeking quality-driven primary spine providers?

The emphasis on quality healthcare has escalated over the past decade and pay-for-performance is imminent. All healthcare providers wishing to participate in third-party reimbursement will need to demonstrate to payers that quality metrics are being met

Join Dr. Anthony Hamm for an hour-long discussion on the advantages of joining a Qualified Clinical Data Registry.
