Practice Management Tools for the High Volume Practice
February 1 2002 Frank King

J ust about everybody in our society is expe­riencing at least one form of a chronic recurring health problem. From headaches to hemorrhoids or allergies to warts, people are seek­ing answers to a plethora of health problems. The doctors in greatest demand are the ones offer­ing safe natural solutions to the common health prob- lems perplexing our society. Homeopa­thy offers chiropractic more solutions to these problems than any other adjunct. We have developed the Chiropractic En­hancer System (CES), a simple, easy-to-use homeopathic procedural system for the high volume, broad scoped practice. By applying CES, I, person­ally, have: Broken the SI million mark; Successfully broadened my scope of practice; Received a premium for my services; Developed a waiting list practice—seeing 50-to-100 patients per day; Established a faithful pa- tient base that averages 12 referrals per year; Acquired 36% of my patients from over an hour away; Established a primarily cash practice; Become liberated from managed care and insurance demands; Become a highly respected doctor in my community; Enjoyed much greater personal fulfillment! New Contemporary Procedures The key to our success with homeopa­thy is not only the product, but also the procedures. We have turned what was once a complex, time-consuming healing art, relegated to only a few doctors who have dedicated their lives to its study, into an easy and accessible system for the high volume practice. A high volume practice is essential to sig­nificantly reaching a popu­lation in great need. The following is a brief summary of our case man­agement forms that make a broad spectrum, high vol­ume practice easy to imple­ment. Personal Health Appraisal (PHA) The Personal Health Ap- praisal is a strategically designed ques­tionnaire to help recognize, organize and prioritize a systematic treatment proto­col for correcting today's more complex and elusive health problems. The PHA helps you see the whole person, so that you can treat the whole person. It takes seemingly insurmountable health prob­lems out of the realm of the overwhelm­ing, and puts them into bite size pieces we can systematically correct. The PH A will help prioritize the order in which to tackle multiple health prob­lems. Symptoms arc simply the body's innate way of communicating to us very specific information. The questions that score the highest on the PHA become the highest priorities. Simply match the products that relate to the problems. A simple sublingual reflex response test can quickly confirm which products the patient needs. This procedure is ex­plained in detail in our free chiropractic procedural program. Continue these pro­cedures until your patient is symptom free. With the fast and effective results homeopathy offers, you will experience a very high compliance rate in establish­ing a health maintenance plan. Remember, homeopathy is a highly in­dividualized healing art. Your greatest success will come as a result of a tena­cious desire to find all the missing pieces to your patient's health. Always seek to find and test any related or similar ho­meopathic formulas that may relate to the case. Leave no stone unturned in look­ing for all possible formulas that may re­late to each case. Develop a detective mentality, and continue to test all pos­sible formulas related to each case, and you will be highly successful. Cracking a persistent case is like cracking a safe; it, commonly, takes a combination of dif­ferent homeopathic remedies to address all the underlying causes behind your patient's health problems. Personal Health Control Form(PHC) The Personal Health Ap­praisal gets us on the yellow brick road to health. The Per­sonal Health Control form will keep us on that road. The PHC form is strategically de­signed to guide us and direct us on the path to optimal health, and helps finish what the PHA began. The PHC form provides step-by-step guidance as to what each patient, per­sonally needs in his or her joumey to health. Everyone is individually unique and requires an individualized path to health. The PHC form will help you find each patient's personal path to optimal health. The PHC will prevent the doctor from spending excessive time with patients. The patients re-score their own symp­toms each visit before seeing the doctor. In a 3-to-5 second glance, then, you will know everything about the patient's health (what's better, worse or the same). This also prevents the burnout dialogue, where the patient attempts to give you the full history of all his/her problems each visit. Patients with multiple prob­lems have a tendency to try proving each problem, each visit—especially when they have been shunned by other doc­tors, or told, "It's all in your head." When patients are trying to prove their problems, it is very difficult for them to get well. I'm sure you have seen this with PI and workman's comp cases that have been wrongfully denied. The pa­tients form a personal attachment to their conditions, in their attempt to prove a problem, and end up disabled and disgruntled. The PHC works to fix this problem. When the patients re-scores their symptoms each visit on the heal- ing matrix grid be­fore seeing the doctor, the doctor can quickly and ef­fectively treat the patient during a 2-to-5 minute visit. The patients are comforted, knowing the doctor is covering all their needs, and they shift from offensive positions to receptive positions. A patient in a receptive po­sition is open to receive healing. There is a profound shift that takes place when your patients enter a deeper realm of receptivity. A flow takes place where there is a greater measure of energy exchange. Patients receive much greater results. They are much more pleasant and satisfied. And the doctor experiences a dra- matic increase in energy, as well. Not only do you . prevent burnout; you 1 have much more energy in, through and after the day! I repeat­edly hear from doctors how the simple PHC form has transformed their practices and their lives. The Personal Test Control Form (PTC) The Personal Test Control form is use­ful for keeping a record of all your testing results. It enables you to observe, at a glance, your entire testing history. The PTC form is designed to: 1. Help you keep an efficient record of the products you've tested and the re­sults of the tests. This helps us in the detective process of discovering the missing pieces to our patients' health. Provide a quick reference to help us choose follow-up products to consider when putting the pieces of the health puzzle back together again. Keep track of when each formula was given and when it was eliminated. This helps us know when to consider re- testing a product we have given in the past. Provide a reference of dos­ age and when to consider changing dosage. Provide an area for special comments. This helps zero in on our observations as to what is mak­ing the greatest difFerence in a patient's health. Everyone wants to see the doctor who can correct the so-called chronic conditions that others cannot! If this is the kind of practice you want to have and the kind of doctor you want to be, then homeopathy is for you. The majority of the public is affected by some so-called incurable or re- curring problem that neither the medical nor chiropractic doctor has been able to re­solve. These people are open to, hungry for, and even "*•'" hoping and praying tor someone to come along with an answer to their dilemma. Disease has been robbing peo­ple of their quality of life and length of years. The majority of the population is seeking a doctor at least willing to step up to the plate and try to help them. Beyond the restrictions of insurance and managed care, people are willing and ready to find someone with an answer. The answer to their prayers can be YOU. Arc you willing to break the mold and get out of the box? Are you ready to legally and ethically step out and experience the potentials awaiting you? The rewards are many. After 20+ years in practice, I can honestly say there are no incurable diseases, only incurable peo­ple waiting or seeking to find the pieces of health they need to receive their heal­ing. You, doctor, with homeopathy, have the opportunity to provide the valuable pieces of health which this world is so hungry to receive. Frank J.
