4 Myth # 10 You have the memory of an elephant
5 Myth # 10 Batch notes at the end of shifts, or worse days later. As you go along they get less and less complete leaving and more detail out If you only record the positives you can t say for sure what you did
6 Myth # 9 Ignorance is Bliss
7 Myth # 9 When was the last time you reviewed your State Law, Regulations and Policies. This is part of compliance. The Devil Made Me It defense doesn't work Respondent Superior Defense I didn t know is not an excuse
8 Myth # 8 I have treated them for years, we re friends
9 Myth # 8 Many malpractice cases are from regular friend patients Being too nice deviating from procedure increases risks o Out of schedule o Out of office o No staff Too casual/familiar Remember to treat all visits like it is their first
10 Myth # 7 OATs are for breakfast!
11 Myth # 7 Patient s perspective is important and too often minimized. Outcome Assessments: Anatomical: 1.Visual Analog Scale/Verbal Numeric Scale 2.Pain Diagrams Functional: 1.Functional Rating Index 2.Modified Oswestry 3.Neck Disability Index 4.Etc.
12 Myth # 6 Less is more
13 Myth # 6 Initial exams have too little supporting procedures to justify Dx Re-Exams too far apart or non-existent No new exams with new conditions No tests ordered when indicated Treating acute patients without being fully informed o Patient flares up after Tx, goes to MD who tells them you caused the problem.
14 Myth # 5 There are no guarantees in life
15 Myth # 5 Patient s perception is, I pay, you get me well Large balances places the relationship out of exchange. They use as an excuse you have not lived up to your part Large balances promotes dissatisfaction with care Collections may incite patients. Review case before filing
16 Myth # 4 You think a SOAP note is a message left in the shower!
17 Myth # 4 The clinical chart should reasonably represent what happened History is critical. Take the time to listen. each visit If hand written, must be legible Incomplete notes open to interpretation-both way If not written, it didn t happen All notes must tell a story and like all stories they should have a Beginning Middle and End! There should be documentation of end result - resolution, MMI, self-discharged etc. Discharge status of the patient is crucial if challenged later down the road
18 Myth # 3 If at first you don t succeed try, try again
19 Myth # 3 NEVER CHANGE A NOTE! Reference note that is being amended. Record date of addendum. Rationale if applicable. NEVER CHANGE A NOTE
20 Myth # 2 I know what I meant
21 Myth # 2 Communication is key, often there is no ROF New procedures just added in with no discussion Informed Consent o Differs from Consent o Patients have "a right to be informed and decide if they want to treat. o Patients should be presented pertinent info so they can make an informed decision o Signed by the patient. o With minors, obtain a signed consent from the guardian. o New Informed Consent should be completed issued if there has been important change in their condition, and/or type of Tx. o Tell them what you are going to do, tell them what you did, tell them why.

23 Myth # 1 Chiropractic adjustments cause strokes
24 Background Information U.S. population is 350 million, the estimated occurrence rate of VADs is 3,500 per year. Therefore, spontaneous VADs occur in 1 out of every 100,000 people per year. The prevalent age is 39 to 45. There is a slight dominance of females over males. Most VADs exhibit a pre-existing anomaly that is asymptomatic and unknown until after the fact. Simple ADLs can result in VADs and or strokes, e.g. going to a hairdresser, driving a car, playing sports, sleeping positions, coughing or simply holding the phone receiver with your head in lateral flexion for extended times. Playing soccer statistically results in death frequency of 1 in 25,000. Clinical considerations; patient is a smoker, oral birth control, vascular disorders and HTN. Vertebral Artery Dissections (VAD) are a rare cause for ischemic strokes, less than 2%. Multiple vessel insult occurs in 15% to 20% of the 2%. FYI On an average, 1 in 1,200 patients taking NSAIDS for at least two months will die from gastrointestinal complications who would not have died had they not taken NSAIDs.
25
26 Vertebro-Basilar Artery System Posterior System supplies 20% of the blood to the brain Rotation can restrict blood flow to contralateral side Redundant blood flow from 4 sources
27 V1: Arise from the subclavian arteries to C6 transverse foramen (only 7.5 % are at the level of C7). V2: Continue through the transverse foramen of C6 to C2 accompanied by the vertebral veins and sympathetic nerves. V3: Emerges from the transverse process of C2 and sweeps laterally to the transverse process of C1. From there is passes around the posterior border of C1 lateral mass and along a groove in the posterior arch of C1 and proceed superiorly piecing the dura into the skull. V4: Once in the skull the two vertebral arteries then join to form the basilar artery.
28 Vertebral artery has a right angle around the lateral mass of atlas, and then right angle into the foramen magnum.
29 Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery (P.I.C.A.) Is located off the vertebral artery outside the skull. Supplies portion of the posterior medulla and cerebellum It is true that most intra-cranial strokes cause weakness on one side of the body. However, if PICA is involved the symptoms can quite different. A stroke in this area is called Wallenberg s Syndrome. This area of the brain contributes to balance, coordination, sensation of the face and body, sense of body position and midline, vocal cord function, and eye movement coordination. PICA
30 Variation: Left vertebral artery is usually larger then the right 50% percent of the time, 25 % the right is bigger and 25% equal Right may terminate in PICA. That means there is no right vertebral artery connecting to the basilar artery. In 3-5% = If the posterior arch groove has bony bridge this called the arcuate foramen or Ponticulus Posticus (little posterior bridge), covers the groove
31
32 Risk Factors For VAD Dysfunction does not always mean a Dissection Underlying pathology which weakens the blood vessels Mechanical forces that can alter haemodynamics Trauma Hypertension Hypercholesterolemia Hyperlipidemia Diabetes Mellitus Infections Genetic clotting disorders Smoking Family History of Vascular Pathology or Early Strokes
33 Blood vessel compromise may be in the middle layer causing blood clots and flow disruption and is a cause of bruits.
34 Once the intima tears the risk of stroke increases from freed up blood clots.
35 Frequency Occurrence of Injury Sites: C1C2 C2C3 C1 transverse process or sub occipital C4C5 C5C6
36 MD or DC No Difference. The likelihood of a patient presenting to a practitioner with the VAD and/or stroke is discussed in a study published in the medical journal SPINE and recently confirmed by Cassidy et al. The study states that although there is a slight increased occurrence rate when presenting to any professional because patients with symptoms will most likely present to a health care provider. Since the occurrence rate is not affected by the type of provider, i.e. chiropractor v. medical doctor, or adjustment v. no adjustment, the association is separate from and unrelated to the procedures performed. This begs the question, why do chiropractors have to discuss this issue, and medical doctors do not?
37 A Rose By Any Other Name May Not be as Sweet.. There is a common misperception of the risks of VAD associated with chiropractic adjustments. A contributing reason for the misinformation comes from biased reporting. JMPT published a study identifying the inaccurate use of the terms chiropractic and chiropractor when reporting incident rates of VAD/stroke combining manipulations from all providers. The study revealed frequently the procedures were inappropriately grouped together putting all types of practitioners in one category. This presents the impression all disciplines and manipulation techniques performed by all types of practitioners are essentially the same, carrying the same concerns and risks; a fact we know to be false.
38 VAD is not the same as a Stroke
39
40 I didn t do it The Council on Chiropractic Colleges stated after extensive examination of the literature that there has been no established causal relationship between a VAD/stroke and a chiropractic adjustment and any association is temporal and unrelated to the procedure. Again, simply, these things happen independent of the adjustment, and statistically, there will be times it occurs in and around a visit to a chiropractor.
41 What Ever Happened to George s Test? There was a fair amount of controversy over the years regarding what, if any, relationship exists between a chiropractic adjustment, VADs, strokes and vascular screening tests. In the late 70 s, to early 80 s the current thinking was to perform a pre-adjustment protocol to screen for the potential vertebrobasilar insufficiency. The logic was based on the clinical observation that vertebral artery occlusions may occur on the contralateral side of cervical rotation and exaggerated by the addition of extension. This anatomical observation was the clinical foundation behind tests like "George's Test". Subsequent research revealed pre-adjustment screenings did not necessarily indicate vascular insufficiency. Research further revealed the unreliability of performing these protocols, rendering them clinically useless. Too many false positives and negatives. The greater likelihood is patient enters the office with the VAD in progress and unless there are frank neuro signs there is way for the doc to know or test for it (even with Doppler studies the artery must be over 55% damaged to register. Auscultation isn t reliable). The Council on Chiropractic Colleges has determined screening procedures have little to no predictive risk value and have since recommended the discontinuation of such screening procedures to the practitioner. History and examination together are the best screening.
42 Bottom Line As stated, there are common situations, treatments, and activities that have higher occurrences than those associated with a chiropractic adjustment. This raises the discussion of what may constitute an appropriate routine Inform Consent. Given the extreme rarity of a temporal relationship even beyond the estimated occurrence rates, what obligation does any practitioner have to review a circumstance that statistically will never occur in their practice lifetime? All that being said, the current observed risk of a VAD temporally related to a chiropractic encounter is between 1 incident per 1 to 2 million cervical manipulations.
43 Keys To A Successful Outcomes 1. Don t panic 2. Don t alter records 3. Don t discuss details with colleagues/staff 4. Keep personal notes for your memory 5. Trust your lawyer 6. Tell your lawyer everything 7. Don t speculate 8. Be prepared to explain all of your notes
