Is your practice safe?
- Do you know what the new CNT manual (7th ed.) recommends for minimizing pneumothorax risks? Sterilizing cups, gua sha tools? Preventing heat lamp and moxa burns? Medical record-keeping?
- Do you routinely provide a "best-practices" informed consent before treatment?
- Do you know what social media marketing techniques are legal vs. illegal, as well as what terms to avoid using on your website?
- Do you know how to avoid triggering insurance audits for suspected over-billing?
- Can you recognize when you're in a "high-risk" relationship with a patient, and manage the situation without charges of discrimination in health care or "patient abandonment" that risk license suspension?
- What would you do/not do if you were concerned someone was going to file a malpractice suit against you?
If you're unsure, this Class/E-book is for you!
If you took the CNT certification exam prior to 2015, reviewing the 7th ed. of the CNT Manual is critical, as there have been many significant changes that have re-shaped standards of care and essential risk management strategies for the profession. Knowing and following the guidelines of the CNT Manual, 7th ed. minimizes risks for your and your patients!
I invite you to benefit from my experience as an Expert Witness in malpractice litigation, complaints to regulatory boards, and insurance audits to help you manage risks while supporting sustainable practice growth.
