In this episode of Chiropractical, Host Dr. Jon Kec discusses the evolving landscape of chiropractic risk management with Mike Whitmer, who is retiring after 24 years with NCMIC. They delve into three major challenges facing the profession: the inevitability of change, the impact of social inflation on malpractice insurance, and the rise of emerging technologies, particularly A.I. in healthcare.
Mike Whitmer emphasizes the importance of adaptability, proper compliance, and maintaining the human connection in patient care.
He also advises chiropractors to leverage new technologies wisely and build strong professional networks.
With valuable insights and practical advice, this episode of Chiropractical aims to help you stay ahead of the curve and enhance patient care.
Adapting to Change
- Be up-to-date with shifting compliance issues
- Embrace the roles of associations
Adjusting to Social Inflation
- What can be done about declining reimbursement rates?
Emerging Technology Risks
- Do the benefits of AI outweigh the risks?
- Is there already an over-reliance on technology?
While there are pressing challenges, there are also many opportunities. The growing acceptance of chiropractic care as part of mainstream healthcare continues to open doors for practitioners to integrate more within their communities and healthcare systems.
On a separate, but no less important, note, thank you to Mike Whitmer for an incredible 24 years at NCMIC. As Mike nears retirement, his impact and insights will be missed but will always be remembered.
