T ECHNOLOGY GETS MORE EXCITING EACH YI-AR WITH THE advancements it can help you make in your practice and your patient success. First, cover story interviewee, Dr. Pete Fernandez—a real living legend, having dedicated over 40 years of his life to chiropractic—expands on his original specialty of practice consulting, to bring us his most innovative project yet...online continuing education, license renewal, and practice building seminars for chiropractors! After investing over a quarter of a million dollars to implement this technology, Dr. Pete confidently tells us that he's successfully created a service for chiropractors that, up to this point, had not existed—the ability to watch any class on any topic you want through online video. The implications this has for disseminating information at a faster pace without the time and hassle of traveling means that, pretty soon, all of your seminar travel plans will be arranged because you actually want to go for the interaction with your peers instead of needing to go for CE credits alone! See page 27 for the full story on "Revolutionizing Access to Continuing Education and More!" Expanding on some other revolutionary technologies for your practice, on page 20. Yamia Benheim describes how your "perfect chiropractic website" can help keep you in touch with your patients all year long...it'll even send them birthday cards! And, on page 22, Dr. Mark Mandell, goes on to illustrate just how your "paperless office" will operate and save you as much as $40,000 a year once you put this new technology into practice. Finally, on page 30, Drs. Joseph Labriola and David Foster share some tips on how to win the "battle" of insurance reimbursement. While the title, "Outsourcing Your Chiropractic Billing & Collections", suggests outsourcing as the best solution, you'll still find helpful tips if, instead, you prefer to keep you billing and collection operation in-house.
