3 Keys for Success in Practicing in a Multidiscipline Environment

Recorded On: 01/21/2026

This course will discuss three major keys for success in becoming integrated with the medical community as a chiropractic specialist. As the chiropractic profession progresses and working with other medical specialists becomes more commonplace, these keys will help chiropractors be "the spine specialist" among healthcare professionals. Patient-centered care, proper documentation, and improving communication, both with our patients and with other medical professionals, are key to increasing your relevancy in today's healthcare environment.

Learning Objectives:
• Objective 1: Improve the focus of care to be more patient-specific, focusing on the person and
not the condition.
• Objective 2: Improve documentation to simplify interprofessional communication and prevent
medical/legal issues.
• Objective 3: Improve communication with both the patient and other health professionals.

Hourly Breakdown:
• 20 minutes of defining and improving patient-centered care,
• 20 minutes of refining proper documentation
• 20 minutes of improving patient and other healthcare professionals' communication.
