Implementing nutrition as another way to enhance patient care and cash flow

Many practices find themselves curious about implementing nutrition, yet overwhelmed by expansive product lines. The uncertainty of where to start and what to do leaves practices lost in the details.  Practices often find they’re working with a clunky and less than effective approach to implementation/communications, and ultimately resulting in underwhelming results with cash flow and sales. Those products are set to the side and critical patient education and sales opportunities are overlooked, leaving patients to look elsewhere for those products they might need.

View this segment with Brandy Brimhall, Billing Manager at ChiroTouch, to learn how you can effectively implement nutrition at a level that works for you and your practice, while building upon patient relationships and increasing cash flow. Brandy speaks with ChiroTouch specialist and trainer, Dr. Tami Howard, on the following learning points:

• Find where to start with implementation of nutrition
• Learn how to code for nutrition and supplements. Coding still matters!
• See how to compete with the world wide web
• Implement new products effectively
• Enhance cash flow while minimizing overhead

• Find your approach to patient communications and education
• Realize that information is at your fingertips
