LACC plans to hold a "user friendly" seminar on the Mercy Center Guidelines March 27-28, 1993 on the college's Whittier campus, and in a second location, San Francisco, April 17-18, 1993.

The seminar presenters were all involved in the Mercy Center Conference: Dr. Dan Hansen, of the LACC postgraduate faculty, and Dr. Alan Adams, LACC resource faculty member, both served on the Mercy Conference steering committee and were commission members; Dr. Robert Mootz was a Mercy Conference commission member; and Ms. Laura Dressler was a corporate (OUM) Mercy Conference observer.

The seminar is intended to instruct how to properly use the Guidelines for Chiropractic Quality Assurance and Practice Parameters, informally known as the Mercy Guidelines.

Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education
Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education

The chiropractic profession is confronting one of the most significant federal regulatory threats it has faced in decades.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
