Times are never good or bad,
only different.
Sage advice from a master,
spoken many years ago.
I am not sure exactly who, or
I would give
due credit.
And you know what? It's very Darwinian, especially
in chiropractic today. Only the fit will make it. And
come out so much better. I
know this as I speak with doctors
all over the USA. This is a great time to
reinvent yourself personally, spiritually,
and refine your
practice make-up, vision, goals, and especially
your systems.
So much is happening so fast
right now. Just ask your patients.
Ask them what they need. What
they want from you to achieve
their own objectives. Is it a back "Crack", or a
knowledgeable?
Doctor of natural healthcare? And by asking this, you find
out how good
a job you have done educating
your patients. Or not.
Do you also have many more MD
referrals for non-back-ache
conditions? What about true, integrated care for
your patients?
Is your therapeutic arsenal
expanding? Does the chiropractic
message make it through all
the clutter?
Tough times need accurate
answers, and clear honest appraisals.
To that end, we need to also
know what your needs are. Really.
This is the best way we can
help you grow. For example, staffing, marketing and
especially technology and web usage
systems we wrote less than 18
months ago are being literally rewritten.
Collections systems,
theraputic delivery to patients.
This is Future security,
healthier patients and our own future fulfillment.
It's the antithesis of Future
Shock. It will be essential to survival.
I can't say it any stronger.
Out of all this, is emerging
an entirely new model of practice,
and practice development.
Stay tuned.
