Meticulous Detail is Required from Beginning to End
When charting compliant documentation of modalities, you and your staff should always have a complete, thorough, compliant final patient note in mind. The doctor, during the examination, follows a ‘walk through’ utilizing an expert knowledge base beginning with the initial evaluation, recommendation of chiropractic care and physical medicine procedures, and the written treatment plan.
Compliant Chiropractic Documentation Includes Modalities, Procedures, and Therapies
