To celebrate our 20th year in business creating software to serve chiropractors, we are producing a series of webinars in March and April to educate chiropractors on documentation. Specifically, changing the thought process of documentation from being reliant on a system of programmed rules to generate encounter documentation to becoming confident and self-sufficient in documenting the patient encounter. The topics will include:
How do I remember it all? – Being aware of what is required by an auditor when looking at an encounter documentation. In this webinar we will explore a providers growth from using ‘training wheels’ to assist with remembering what to dictate, to grabbing a microphone and dictating an comprehensive subsequent encounter note in less than 30 seconds.

The Case of a Million Macros – Many times a user will get so hung up on making a thousand templates for every scenario that they image that they will encounter, that they forget the power of speech recognition – Just say what you want to say, you’ll never find a short cut or checkbox that is more succinct, accurate, or stands up better than your own words.

One-on-One with Dr. Tony Hamm – Dr. Hamm has been a past president of the ACA, was a contributor to the ACA’s manual Clinical Documentation for Chiropractors, and has been an advocate and user of speech recognition software since very early on. In this webinar we will have a discussion with Dr. Hamm about using speech recognition software for documentation, what advantages he has found vs. generated notes, and what advice he can offer users that are considering moving to dictating their documentation moving from a checkbox generated system.
Automated Processes and Encounter Specific Documentation – We’ll look at combining the use of appointment reminders, patient portal and check-in features with the providers workflow to get information where we need it at the point of care AND the point of documentation.
Insights with a Documentation Reviewer – Dr. Dan Wautlet has provided peer review consultant services in the health insurance industry since 2003. He routinely performs reviews of documentation to determine medical necessity. In this Q & A format webinar we will talk with Dr. Wautlet about what he looks for when reviewing documentation to support medical necessity and how he has been using speech recognition in his chiropractic practice since 2011.
