Advanced Clinical Triage for Accurate Diagnosis, Testing Decisions & Collaborative Care
3 Credit Hours | Online CE Course
Make the right call—starting at Visit 1.
Your first visit determines everything that follows: diagnosis, prognosis, treatment strategy, documentation defensibility, and whether the case requires advanced testing or collaboration.
This course gives you a repeatable clinical triage system for spinal anatomical and biomechanical pathology—so you can move from “good exam” to clear diagnosis, proper documentation, appropriate testing, and evidence-informed treatment pathways.
Whether you're building stronger outcomes, reducing documentation risk, or improving case management decisions, this program gives you the tools to triage like a contemporary spine provider.

Designed for chiropractors and spine clinicians who want to:
-
Improve diagnostic certainty during the clinical evaluation
-
Know when testing is appropriate and what it should accomplish
-
Strengthen E&M documentation with the elements required for defensible reporting
-
Build confident, appropriate collaboration pathways when necessary
-
Create consistent triage and treatment planning for spine-related pathology
What you’ll be able to do after this course
By the end of this 3-hour program, you will be able to:
✅ Perform a structured clinical evaluation to reach a defensible diagnosis
✅ Develop a clearer prognosis and treatment plan based on findings
✅ Determine when to order testing and what clinical questions it should answer
✅ Identify neuro-muscular spinal anatomical and biomechanical pathologies with improved documentation precision
✅ Apply triage-based decision-making to choose appropriate treatment pathways
✅ Produce documentation that supports proper E&M communication and continuity of care
Course description
This course is designed to help you triage your case from the first visit, creating an accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan. It then takes triage to the next level by addressing when to order testing and the clinical necessity for collaboration.
