Course Description
This program is about how to use documentation and
clinical acumen to create an accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan
for complicated cases in clinical chiropractic. It is based on the evidence and
the literature with a focus on collaborative care with medical specialists when
clinically indicated. Also, the program teaches a Doctor of Chiropractic how to
be a primary spine care provider or the first option for spinal referral with
treatment and triage equally handled in clinical practice. Connective
tissue-ligament pathology and spinal disc pathology will be reviewed extensively
to help determine a definitive diagnosis.

2023 Trends in
Documentation
Evidence-Based demonstrative documentation is typically the
arbiter for creating successful patient-centered collaborative care. This
"reputation building" focus has already helped develop relationships
with MD PCPs, MD Specialists, ERs, and Urgent Care Centers. This
demonstratively removed the Non-Specific Back Pain "Dogma" that too
many have held because technology and the evidence have not supported what
chiropractic has known for over a century. We now have those tools and once
learned, chiropractic utilization "skyrockets because of the evidence.

MRI Spine Case
Review
Clinical case
review of MRI's including sagittal, axial, T1, T2, STIR, and proton density
sequences. The vertebrate, spinal cord, discs, nerve roots, thecal sac,
posterior longitudinal ligament, epidural veins, and fat saturation pulses will
be identified. Pathology will include bulges, herniations, protrusions,
extrusions, myelomalacia, cord edema, and Schmorl's nodes.

Demonstrative
Documentation Reporting
Creating
documentation that is demonstrable in design to show pathology visually. How to
prepare demonstrable records that are legally defensible and accurate in the
description of the pathology.

Age-Dating
Herniated Disc and Master-Class in Ligament Physiology
Age-dating herniated discs and trauma is a critical skill for
an expert in spine. It combines the clinical skills of interpreting X-ray, MRI,
and other imaging modalities with a clinician's understanding of joint
pathology. This level of expertise is critical when collaborated with other
physicians or working in the medical-legal environment as an expert. Age-dating
pathology is also central to creating a prognosis on your patient's recovery
and must be evidence-based in rationale. Master-Class in
ligaments; anatomy, physiology, vascularization, neurological innervation,
tissue repair and how they all relate to clinical practice. Ligament pathology correlating to the
mechanisms of path-neuro-biomechanical lesions (vertebral subluxation complex).
Also, how ligaments play a critical role in a chiropractic spinal adjustment
and defining the chiropractic spinal adjustment mechanisms.

Updated Trends in Spinal
Biomechanics
Diagnosis and
management of ligament (connective tissue) pathology in chronic and acute
patients. Evidence-based physiology of the morphology, mechanisms, and sequella
to trauma inclusive of compensatory actions of the human spine.
Module 6

Case Presentation
Clinical grand rounds of a
case including disc, ligament, and spinal pathology. The creation of the
diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan. The changing of treatment plans and
diagnosis based upon follow-up examinations.

Disproving Non-Specific
Back Pain
Case Management documentation incorporating Spinal Biomechanics, MRI, and
clinical findings when collaborating with medical specialists and lawyers.
Using Case Management as the foundation for both consistent referrals and
long-term forensic consulting relationships. Disproving, based upon the
evidence, the Dogma of “non-specific back pain.”
Module 8
Magdy Shady MD,
Neurosurgeon
Neurosurgical
Collaboration
Case collaboration on a
patient with significant extrusion-type herniation with cord compression and
myelomalacia as sequelae. Discussing where the chiropractor fits into the team
approach as the primary spine care provider.

Future Clinical Trends in Chiropractic and Documentation
Discussing the Future trends in chiropractic
and clinical record keeping is an integral part of good professional practice
and delivering quality healthcare. But as healthcare changes with new
technology and reimbursement models, so should clinical documentation. It can
be helpful to go back to the basics. In this step-by-step guide to taking
perfect clinical notes, we will cover:
- Why write clinical notes
- The importance of context
- What to include in a clinical note
- Tips for better clinical documentation
- Basic legal considerations
- Open clinical notes
- How to keep documentation
