What percentage of your practice is cash paying patients?

Response

100% (red) - 8%

75% (blue) - 20%

50% (yellow) - 19%

25% (green) - 44%

0% (gray) - 9%


These results are based upon responses from 69 DCs. Considering that this was our first online poll, and that we just announced the existence of ChiroPoll in the last issue, the response rate was respectable. We expect the responses rate to significantly increase in a short time.

ChiroPoll's current survey asks:


"Should doctors of chiropractic be allowed to prescribe over-the-counter medication?"

This question will be featured on ChiroPoll ([url=http://www.chiroweb.com/chiropoll]http://www.chiroweb.com/chiropoll[/url]) June 1-June 15. The results will be reported in the July 13, 1998 issue of Dynamic Chiropractic.

The polling question for June 15-June 29 will be:


"How many years of chiropractic college should MDs be required to attend if they desire to practice 1 chiropractic?"

Life Chiropractic College West's and Life University's struggles may be the most talked about but appear to be part of a larger story. And with recent USDE requirements threatening to hamstring federal student financing for DC degree programs, chiropractic education is facing questions for which it has no immediate answers.

Are You Meeting the Chiropractic Standard of Care?
Are You Meeting the Chiropractic Standard of Care?

The term standard of care is a legal term and a medical concept. There is no single, universally recognized standard of care document or authoritative reference. The medical concept defines what practitioners should do in practice. The legal term used determines whether a practitioner failed to meet that expectation. This article examines the standard of care for the doctor of chiropractic.
