  Course Description

  Chiropractic practices face increasing pressure from documentation demands, administrative complexity, and billing challenges that reduce patient care time. This course offers a practical introduction to using artificial intelligence responsibly to streamline documentation, scheduling, patient communication, and revenue workflows. Participants will learn where AI adds value, where it should be avoided, and how to maintain compliance, clinical oversight, and data security. The session also covers the full lifecycle of chiropractic records—patient care, regulatory, and operational—highlighting common deficiencies, compliance red flags, and strategies to support practice sustainability and value. Attendees will leave with actionable steps to improve efficiency and strengthen documentation systems immediately.

  Learning Objectives

  1. Identify chiropractic workflows where AI can safely reduce administrative burden while maintaining care quality.
  2. Differentiate appropriate, compliant uses of AI from high-risk or inappropriate applications in chiropractic practice.
  3. Design a phased implementation plan to improve efficiency, patient experience, and operational scalability.
  4. Identify the three primary categories of chiropractic documentation—patient care, regulatory compliance, and operational records—and their role in supporting compliant practice operations.
  5. Recognize common documentation deficiencies and compliance red flags that may trigger regulatory scrutiny or negatively affect practice valuation during due diligence.
  6. Describe the documentation standards and record-keeping practices necessary to maintain regulatory compliance and facilitate a smooth transition during the sale or transfer of a chiropractic practice.
