But, I felt that she didnąt get it. She wasnąt quite sure what to ask but some questions were lingering and I saw a drop out patient is not handled correctly. I thought about it and prior to her leaving the adjusting room, even though I was busy, I asked her to sit while I slowly reviewed what I mentioned to her before. Patients generally are intimidated at the doctor and often take in less than half of what was said to them. This is unacceptable for us, as patient cooperation is vital for patient management and referrals. So a few minutes of knee to knee are worth the time and effort. If you have an established educational program be sure you have all patients utilize it. Timely workshops are always beneficial but too many patients either are unable to attend or never have the opportunity since their doctor never gives them. If you have never purchased or created a knee to knee educational tool, now is the time. Creating one is quite simple. Purchase a loose-leaf book with some plastic paper protectors. Cut out anatomical and chiropractic related pictures that best follows your line of thinking and adjusting style and place them in an orderly flow that allows you to discuss what you are planning to accomplish with your care. This generic and simple presentation is quite effective and can be tailored for various conditions and findings. We have a number of professional vendors that provide various educational programs. As with any idea, if not utilized it is worthless. Take the time to investigate your best approach toward patient education and then follow through. If you need a simple but effective tool, knee to knee always works. Have a Great Day Dr. M Postings: IC or space for rent needed in Ramsey, NJ: In Northern Bergen County.
