As healthcare providers, we all strive to provide the best care to our patients. However, with the complexity of medical procedures and the ever-changing landscape of healthcare, it can be challenging to ensure we are consistently providing accurate and comprehensive care from the first consultation to the first re-exam. That’s where the course “Getting it Right from Day One Right Up to the First Re-exam” comes in, offering a comprehensive guide to the correct clinical procedures necessary to create a consistent and accurate representation of a patient’s medical history.
Designed to assist chiropractic physicians and their practice teams, this course covers a range of topics essential to achieving optimal outcomes for patients. Starting with new patient consultation procedures, the course takes a deep dive into shifting patients from symptoms to cause, new patient examination procedures, discharging patients, reviewing the correct E & M codes for accurate reporting, writing a diagnosis to support all areas of corrective care, performing the first re-exams at the right time to get patients into the next phase of care, and performing functional re-exams to prevent patient self-discharge from care.
One of the key benefits of this course is its focus on providing a comprehensive overview of clinical procedures. At the finish of my course, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the correct clinical procedures and best practices necessary to provide high-quality care to patients. This course provides a vital foundation for chiropractic physicians seeking to improve patient outcomes and increase the practice’s success.
