Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
In "Applying the Skin Skull Principle" (April 15, 2015 issue), Dr. K. Jeffrey Miller discusses how the "take your victim as you find them" legal principle applies to the practice of chiropractic, particularly with regard to appropriate diagnosis. Adherence to this principle is invaluable not only to maximize patient care, but also to protect doctor and patient in an era of increasing case review, insurance denial and malpractice litigation.
In "Practice Policy (Gone Bad): The Sign" (Sept. 15, 2015 issue), Dr. Miller exposes one of the biggest problems plaguing modern healthcare, particularly allopathic medicine: lack of patient-centered care. He explains why policies and procedures that limit the doctor-patient relationship do irreparable harm to both parties. This is important information for doctors of chiropractic not only because they promote patient-centered care, but also because healthcare is trending toward this type of care, with best practices and guidelines promoting it as a way to lower costs and improve outcomes.
