From Office Documentation to Sideline Records: Essentials for Sports Chiropractors

This session prepares chiropractors, especially those pursuing or maintaining CCSP® or DACBSP® certification—to confidently manage documentation and risk in both sideline and clinical practice. With increasing expectations around compliance, informed consent, and multidisciplinary care, this course provides real-world protocols and Florida Statute-aligned strategies for handling athletic care scenarios. From SOAP-style sideline assessments to consultation documentation and interprofessional coordination, attendees will gain tools to ensure their records are clear, defensible, and in full alignment with legal and professional standards. Topics also include emergency action planning, care of minor athletes, informed consent, and social media privacy practices, all taught by three highly respected chiropractic sports physicians.
