Homecoming was a smashing success. We will report on some of the incredible insights gained next week. This weeks Puzzle Piece was written by Brandy of Total Practice Resources (TPR). It will help to educate you, your staff and your patients. Brandy and her team covered incredible practice expanding, protecting and promoting sections of the Homecoming Seminar. Dr Brian Anderson, Dr Bruce Carrick and Brandy demonstrated how to increase services smoothly to allow growth and increase the bottom line. She also introduced her new creation, the www.ChiroNetwork.info that will increase your practice, your income and help control/reduce your outgo. This will be discussed at the bottom of today’s article.

Here are some questions for you to consider as to how you can use e-Wellness every day in your practice:

What are your practice goals?? Possibly better educating your staff, increasing patient education, increasing nutrition sales, improving marketing techniques, increasing patient compliance, increasing patient retention, saving doctor time in explaining/answering questions, increasing referrals, providing better materials and hand-outs for patient reference, resolving more specific cases/conditions, etc...

There are many ways to successfully accomplish and achieve these goals, of course, and certainly more than one avenue that should be utilized while building and working toward them. However, to focus on one specific system that can be very easily implemented into your practice that without doubt, will touch on and improve each of the items listed above, is the eWellness System.

Having used the eWellness system personally, I can tell you with confidence that you can amplify many aspects of your practice. As an added bonus, the hard part is already done for you, such as: research, compilation and organization of data, ability to access data immediately, professional presentation of materials, etc.....All you have to do is take advantage of what has been made available to you. The following list outlines but only a few of the benefits and suggested forms of use for the eWellness System.

1. Condition of the Month: Can be posted in your office, made into brochures, newsletters, newspaper articles, reading material in specific areas of your office like reception area, footbath room... Complete with nutritional recommendations, and projections for increased income when certain Nutri-West products are incorporated into the promotion.

2. Questionnaires: Can be posted to your website, used for promotional incentives, accessed as additional support for documentation, can be utilized on exams & re-exams to help demonstrate patient improvement... Detailed results include the Nutri-West product recommendations based on an extensive computer matrix that zeros in on individual needs, along with a script pad for specifying amounts.

*Remember, these are filled out by the patient so you are able to provide a complete report to the patient based upon their own responses to specific questions AND the patients can keep their reports for future reference and sharing with family and friends!

3. Patient Fact Sheets: Contains helpful, at home steps for patients to learn to better care for themselves. Info such as Candida Diets, Liver Detoxifying, etc is all in this section. People are reading and doing these things right now from steps they are finding in magazines and on the internet, if they know that YOU have the answers, they will come to YOU with the questions.

4. Health Concerns: Print off and hand out to new patients giving them the info on their own specific concerns or reason for becoming a patient; this is great reference material for patients after they leave your office, this can also be extremely helpful to reference during your Report of Findings. As patients mention family members’ specific concerns, YOU can provide info on the specific health concerns; as potential patients call and are uncertain about scheduling, YOU can provide them information on their specific health concerns.

There are, of course, many more features and functions of the eWellness System, such as detailed lab reports that lead to Nutri-West nutrition with a script pad, free downloads of training videos on topics like detox and Total Systemic Detox, and an archived article section that includes supplement fact sheets. I have just briefly noted a few of these features for your reference. Not only is this system a great reference and educational material for staff and the doctor. It makes your practice look and feel like the expert of many, many health related topics. Hopefully, by now, you can see how eWellness can help the doctor(s), staff, patient and entire practice as a whole. You may even have ideas of your own to implement in the coming months.

For further assistance to you, I want to also offer a few helpful tips for implementation of the eWellness System or any other office system or procedure you may be considering. Even if your office already has eWellness but may not be maximizing it, you may likely benefit from reviewing these following steps:

-Training is Key: Training sessions can easily be set up so you may be guided through eWellness and its features. Videos with audio are available in the Help section for training. This system should be implemented as with any other procedure or system in your practice. There is no professional team that would achieve their goal, without first learning and training the plays they will be performing....Why would you??

-Know your objective/intended outcome: Everything we do must have a purpose or target. Without clearly defining this, we are shooting blindly into the dark. This must of course be shared with your team as you must all work together as a single unit to be most successful. With eWellness, this means that you first must determine what your own goals are and how you may most efficiently and effectively work toward those specific goals/objectives.

-Break it down: As with anything, too much at once can be overwhelming. There are so many avenues you can focus on with eWellness, you would be best served to focus on your immediate objective and priorities and first work to implement those and meet those needs. Other ideas and steps can be added as you feel comfortable and are better trained and prepared.

-Time Management: One of my favorite parts of eWellness is that it actually SAVES you time. Every single practice can benefit from eWellness and if time is a factor to you, I can assure you that there are ways to still begin to reap the benefits of this system without imposing on other systems in your practice. With close evaluation you/we could easily determine how you may best benefit from the system features and possible uses.

NOW, MORE THAN EVER, PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY CAN DO TO HELP THEMSELVES. THE MORE YOU CAN SHOW THEM THAT WHAT YOU HAVE IS A NECESSITY FOR THEM AND THAT YOU HAVE INFORMATION THAT IS CRUCIAL FOR THEM TO KNOW, THE MORE THEY WILL THINK OF YOU WHEN OTHER HEALTH AND WELLNESS NEEDS ARISE.
