Treatment Protocols Enhance Efficiency and Outcome for Patients and Providers
Initial visits with new patients or new presenting conditions with established patients can be challenging as providers must evaluate, outline treatment protocols and recommendations, and document foundational paperwork to ensure the accurate fulfillment of the appropriate care and treatment to come.
Predetermined treatment protocols can aid this process efficiency. Protocols are based on clinical best practices, as well as the chiropractic doctor’s experience with many chiropractic patients encountered and treated successfully in the past. Experienced chiropractors recognize the presentation of certain conditions pairs with treatment recommendations and the number of treatments required in average cases in order to return the patient to pre-condition status. The chiropractors’ knowledge base is a collection of these unwritten protocols, based on years of experience.
Written Protocols Make Your Chiropractic Practice More Efficient
Creating written protocols from your expert knowledge base allows you to define in writing your “Best Practices” model, ultimately defining your best treatment protocols for every type of presenting chiropractic case.

After contacting my Account Manager, and setting a time to review the Compliance materials that are available at KMC University, I now feel this is what I was looking for…simple steps to walk from A-Z.
