Dr. Loman has established one of the most successful chiropractic offices in the world, seeing over sixty thousand patients a year. A world power boat racing champion, Dr. Loman has learned what it takes to be the very best.

Teach the World About Chiropractic, which he co-founded with Dr. Ben Lerner, the author of Body by God, Generation XL, and One-Minute Wellness, helps chiropractors and students across the world. Their clients have the largest, most successful clinics in the profession today.

"Complete practice workflow solution starts with appointment scheduling and includes SOAP notes, and billing," says Dr. Lerner. "Few vendors today offer such integrated packages as they require powerful vericle-like technologies used by trained and skilled personnel implementing rigorous and disciplined service processes."

Chiropractic IT must meet five functional criteria and five technology criteria:

1. Clinical Relevance

   Technology can only help the healing process if it helps making treatment decisions at the point of care. Therefore, it must be available next to treatment table and it must have intuitive user interface to facilitate simple data entry and helpful online reporting.

2. Patient Relationship Management

   Successful practice development requires perfectly managed patient relationships, starting with establishing and tracking financial care plans, appointment reminders, balance follow-ups, and avoidance of unbillable appointments.

3. Compliant SOAP Notes

   SOAP is short for Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan:

   Subjective describes the patient's current condition, including all pertinent and negative symptoms. Document how symptoms impact activities of daily living; Use the Standard SOAP format modified to SOAAP by adding an extra "A" for Activities of Daily Living.

   Objective includes vital signs, findings from physical examinations, and results from laboratory tests. Document functional measurements (e.g., Range of Motion), comparison data, test results, co-morbidities, etc. to paint a picture of what is going on with the patient.

   Assessment is a quick summary of the patient with main symptoms/diagnosis including a differential diagnosis, a list of other possible diagnoses usually in order of most likely to least likely.

   Plan is what the health care provider will do to treat the patient's concerns. This should address each item of the differential diagnosis. Document goals for the patient and establish a reasonable timeline to reach those goals. Update your treatment plan every 30 days or 12 visits or any time there is a significant change in the patient's condition, i.e., exacerbation, new injury, discharge exam. Document the patient's progress toward those goals in the daily SOAAP notes.

      A Sense of Humor in the Workplace ... Is it Me? Or, was that not funny?
      When I was first initiated into Corporate America, I had a sense of humor that went unmatched by any mortal soul. I was quick-witted, smart, sharp, and knew every gag and joke available to humanity. Most of it, I learned in college. But, college never really did teach the fact that having a sense of humor in the workplace is different than 'jocularity.' After a few brushes with career-chaos, I realized that the definition of 'corporate humor' deals with how one handles oneself and not how one can elicit laughter.--- Where did this come from? ---One of my friends came to Las Vegas last week to visit and relax a bit. He and I went out and checked out some of the local bands. During the course of the evening, he brought up some issues about his current job situation. After some introductory words, we discussed the issue that he seems to get blamed for some of the stupidest things, t

      The Hidden Power of Networking
      We all make use of traditional forms of getting new business in – advertising, direct mail, brochures etc but networking is one form of marketing which, has been under-utilised. Until now that is. Small business owners are finally beginning to under stand the power of networking and what it can do for their sales figures.But what is networking?In its most basic form, it’s word-of-mouth advertising but originated by you, not your customers. It involves taking every opportunity to raise awareness of your product or service amongst the people you meet. At a more sophisticated level, networking can be achieved by taking advantage of the formal networking groups or events that have been arranged purely with the idea of putting potential partners together.But how can you, as a small business owner, become a more effective networker and take full advantage of the opportunities presented

      An Introduction to Rotary Hot Stamping
      Hot stamping is a process for transferring a dry film to a substrate through heat and pressure. This requires the following basic components:Main Components of the Hot Stamping Process:ANVIL Usually made of a hard rubber or phenolic. The anvil must be hard enough to resist cupping under the load of the die, soft enough to protect the die from irregularities in the substrate, and resilient enough not to take a set through repeated pounding.SUBSTRATE A wide variety of substrates are suitable for the hot stamping process. Surface tension of the substrate has the same affect on hot stamping as it does on printing. In addition to surface tension, the porosity of the material has a profound affect on stamping speed. A dry material will tend to cool the foil before it gets a chance to adhere properly. The resulting stamp will show a mottled surface similar to how ink looks on such a m

   9. Full and Timely Payments

      Revenue cycle management software must help the practice manager to make sure that every service encounter gets paid in full and on time. It must provide full and detailed 24x7 account of all actions on every claim, systematic discovery of denials, patient invoicing, electronic claims submissions to payers, payment posting and reconciliation with charges, HIPAA compliance, built-in tests for medical necessity, and comprehensive online reporting.

   10. Audit Risk Management

       Audit risk management consists of continuous monitoring for potential compliance violations and meticulous management of patient encounter notes.

   11. Reporting and Transparency

       Without transparency billing may not be reliable. To be able to observe every step of the billing process on a continuous 24 x 7 basis, reporting must be available using a secure HIPAA compliant connection over the Internet.

       Vendors that manage their own billing technology typically have better control of reporting capabilities in terms of scope, analysis, frequency, and transparency. At the minimum, the following features must be available:

       Operational Report shows total claims and $ amounts submitted, paid, adjusted, written off, and failed. It allows breakdown by cpt, payer, referral, or a combination of such dimensions.

       Denials Report shows the list of denied claims and a log of followup actions. By sorting it by amount paid, you can tell the smallest payment the billing service will fight for.

       Compliance Report shows the potential for post-payment audit and itemizes compliance violations.

       Reports must allow arbitrary data aggregation and drill-in. Export to Excel spreadsheets for further analysis is a very useful feature.

   12. Billing Quality Metric

       Make a list of metrics available online. Focus on collections completeness and payment delay. Can the system report the differences between payers and between various CPT codes in real time? What is the denial followup success rate?

   13. Data Entry Protocols

       Modern technologies allow the doctor to take over coding and reduce the billing role down to claims processing and followup. Technology-competent vendor will supply your superbill online, along with a separate form for patient and charge entry, EOB posting, and on-line claim editing. Similarly, much of data entry validity, including some of claim scrubbing will be done online at the point of data entry.

   14. ASP or SaaS Delivery Model

       Rapid technology progress results in low return on investment in software licenses, typical of client-server technology. Therefore, monthly leasing arrangements with zero upfront investment, typical of ASP (application service provider) or SaaS (software as a service) delivery models are preferable to license purchase.
