			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being disorganized costs time, which converts into lost money. Often the chiropractor isn’t aware of how much time certain office tasks take. A proper evaluation of your chiropractic health assistant&#8217;s work time is information you need to manage an efficient office. For example, how much time does your staff spend finding travel cards, handing them out and re-filing them? A surprising amount of time is spent revolving those paper travel cards. There are also those lost hours searching for that single elusive travel card that has been misfiled. There is a more efficient way!</p>
<p>By adding our exclusive Atlas virtual travel card system to your health centre, 35 to 40 hours of your staff’s work could be saved. These vital hours could be better utilized by implementing a staff-directed patient education system. This learning initiative will generate more patients for your practice.</p>
<p>Designating a weekly health subject to teach patients about common conditions that regular chiropractic care can treat is another useful tactic. This strategy can be effectively implemented with our Generation 2 and 3 systems. You can pre-program health messages for both the front desk sign-in screen and treatment room sign-in monitor (generation 3). They will see their name followed by a chiropractic health statement that readies them for more information, when patients scan in at the front desk. The patient then continues to the treatment room and watches another pre-programmed message that coincides with the first one. When you arrive at the adjustment room you can then further reinforce the information the patient has just received. You can be confident that patients will be learning something new at each visit with this system in place.</p>
<p>These messages can be based on a new patient visit sequence, or sorted by weekly or monthly health subjects. Atlas has made your job easier by programming a series of 40 chiropractic health affirmations into our software. choose all of the health affirmations, or some of them, or add your own. Many established options are available to deliver these messages to your patients. With our installation and on-site training we will help you implement Atlas to fit your practice effortlessly.</p>
<p>This simple system can streamline your patient education program and keep your practice on track. Setting your practice on autopilot with an education program is a proven method to create consistent results. No other software program on the market today will help you arrange and implement your patient education system, while providing efficient and proven front desk management at the same time.</p>
<p>The average chiropractic health assistant spends more time with your patient than you do. Picture the following scenario: your waiting room is full and your staff starts talking about the weekly health topic. The patients start participating and start a dialogue with each other and your staff person. This group discussion leads to a patient testimonial about a chiropractic success. Next, one of your new patients who is present and listening to the discussion, books his/her spouse for an exam because he/she has a similar problem. As you can imagine, this type of office patient/staff interaction creates a wealth of benefits for your patients.</p>
<p>Creating Atlas office situations not only builds referrals but also reinforces patient care and energizes office staff. With these benefits, and time for staff to educate patients, your practice cannot help but grow!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your Chiropractor’s Centre and Video Email Marketing</p>
<p>Welcome to the technology corner for this month. In a recent issue we addressed the importance of email and especially video email marketing. In this article we want to expand on that thought and give you help on how to make your master email lead list. </p>
<p>We all read monthly or weekly email advertisements from popular retailers advertising product specials ranging from computers to furniture and even airline flights. These are organizations that spend millions in print media and TV advertising. Now these organizations have become experts in email marketing. We can create a “chiropractic recipe for success” in email marketing and lead generation by simply observing what these organizations are doing and why they are doing it.</p>
<p>Simply stated, email is the most affordable form of advertising today. Organizations are now shifting marketing campaign money and expending energy building up their prospecting email lists. Have you ever noticed that some sellers will ask for your postal code and email address whenever you purchase something? Especially when you make an online order, an email address is necessary. Warm leads are used by these organizations to generate a huge email database. These are clients that are already using their products or services or have enquired about their products. Email lists are bought by some companies but they would be thought of as cold leads. Why would you want to buy a list and advertise health products or services to someone that isn’t and may never be health conscious? </p>
<p>There are rules and regulations related to buying an emailing lists. Before you spend your hard earned cash on cold leads, do your homework. As chiropractors, we have so many options to collect warm leads to create an email wave in your community. Only a handful of chiropractors are doing it so be the first in your community to master the internet via email. Let me tell you about some of these gems that so few chiropractors are tapping into.</p>
<p>In order to build a chiropractic community awareness and promote their practice, a good number of chiropractors do outside talks or outreach events. You should be gaining valuable email addresses at all of these events. For example, if you do a screening, the potential new client is interested enough in your service to stop and take part in the screening. Many times we are disappointed that they didn’t accept your offer for a discounted examination. What you do with that name will make all the difference in the world. Most chiropractors at best will send them a letter or a newsletter. If they weren’t interested then what makes you think they’re going to respond to a letter in the next two weeks? In order to keep that lead viable you need to stay in constant contact with them every single month until they do one of two things; sign up or ask you to stop sending them information.</p>
<p>The key is sending them relevant information that is communicated with cutting edge technology sent right to their home. We live in a world that is spending most of their leisure time watching TV, movies and surfing the internet and email. If you don’t have a huge advertising budget you need to communicate with them via email. A successful video email campaign will not only keep you in front of your warm leads it will help you change them into new patients.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in a product but not ready to buy it could take months before you decide to make that decision and buy that item. The same concept applies to healthcare especially if they are in tune with crisis care. Potential patients might comprehend the whole concept of wellness as of yet, and until they have a crisis they might not be ready to use your chiropractic services. What happens if you lose contact with that warm lead and they have a health issue and decide to try chiropractic eight month or a year down the road? They might come to see you but your chances increase exponentially if you have been in contact with them over the preceding months.</p>
<p>Collecting emails at screenings, corporate talks and outside events is a fantastic way to build your database of warm leads, but what if your practice style is driven mostly by internal marketing? Let them know you’re starting a new patient education initiative that involves email and they are going to be sent top class cutting edge videos on the chiropractic lifestyle that arrive in their inbox. If you communicate the importance of helping you send these emails to friends and family you create a viral component to your email which is another topic in itself.</p>
<p>Another great way to gain hundreds of emails is to simply ask you patients for emails. Start a huge buzz over a draw you’re going to have. The more email names they provide the more times their name is entered into the draw to win a brilliant prize. Imagine how many emails you’re going to get by simply having a draw in your center. You can take it one step further and have your patients email their friends information introducing your new video email system. What a way to reach out into your community to spread the word about the chiropractic lifestyle and what an even better way to convert those leads to new patients.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The Chiropractic Office and Viral Marketing</h2>
<p>In your tech corner this month we are reviewing a few ways to advance practices using ‘viral marketing’ through technology and email. What exactly do we mean by ‘viral marketing’?</p>
<p>Everyone is now familiar with YouTube’s way of posting, linking and searching for videos. It’s a simple concept that started with people broadcasting videos on various subjects for fun or entertainment and it spreads through the internet like a replicating virus does. A way for businesses to upload videos on the products or services that they offer is ultimately what it has become. To be successful in this type of viral marketing, an international presence or a product that can be purchased or ordered online is essential.</p>
<p>What are some of the advantages of using this type of technology to grow your practice and market chiropractic? Fortunately, videos will do a great job to improve the idea of chiropractic in the general public, provided they are positive videos that explain the concept of chiropractic and boost the chiropractic wellness position. That said, the likelihood of someone local searching chiropractic on YouTube, finding your particular clinic and then booking an appointment is slim to none.</p>
<p>How then, does one begin explaining people outside the limits of a practice, using the internet and email for external marketing? There are many programs currently using email technology with auto responders to teach and keep the communication lines open with possible clients. There are however, negatives to these systems; the doctor is responsible for initially developing the content to show possible patients, or they often use out-dated newsletter email techniques. We must remember that we live in a high-tech, video driven world with high expectations.</p>
<p>When was the last time you received a newsletter via email from Coca-Cola or Pepsi? These are organizations that spend millions in video-based advertising. Quite simply, video is the way to go, when it comes to influencing the public. What keeps these businesses at the top is the amount of time and money that they spend on marketing. Yes, they have the finances to spend on costly endorsements and expensive TV advertising. Our associations are not spending millions to advance chiropractic in the public eye (and if they are it’s on a small local sacle), and a single chiropractic clinic has limited marketing fund. We need to use creative ways to show people using 21<sup>st</sup> century technology and techniques that work, at a reasonable price point that any chiropractor can afford.</p>
<p>We must embrace newer technologies of patient education, although newsletters and mailings can still be inherently useful. People are used to being entertained and our new generation prefers visually-based forms of education. The idea of newsletters is to inform patients, and their friends and family members, on chiropractic. The hope or payoff is that when they have a health issue, they might come in and see you as a result of seeing your monthly newsletter, however the return on investment is EXTREMELY limited.</p>
<p>Let’s go back and explore the idea of video technology and the YouTube idea.</p>
<p>Are you submitting videos on your website? Or better yet, do you even own a website? High quality videos that fully teach the method of chiropractic and the wellness lifestyle should be broadcast on the website of any clinic seeking to increase its income potential. Additionally, videos enticing viewers to seek chiropractic care for various health-related issues such as headaches, low back pain and neck pain could also be posted. Chiropractic videos are a useful way to educate the public at large and bring your website into the 21<sup>st</sup> century. Services do exist that take this one step further and allow doctors to capture emails on their websites by sending the potential lead a video email with a coupon or offer to come into their practice for a consultation. People are plugged into the internet and when they are looking for services they often do a Google search to track down the closest chiropractic office. A powerful and interesting website with superb video and video email lead generation will have that edge that places your clinic above the rest.</p>
<p>Why re-invent the wheel? Rather than try to set up your own, search for a company that has developed superb high quality videos that will stream on your website seamlessly and effortlessly. With their unique messages let these videos, act to passively draw potential new patients through your door. Video email automation will be debated in our next issue.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>How do I change my software system that has decades of records?</h2>
<div>So many chiropractors find themselves ensnared in software that never seems to evolve or advance. When a software company makes that initial sale they really don’t have any incentive to continue to develop the product to meet your changing needs. That’s a downfall of buying a system verse a lease to own with a support package. Often you’re left to work things out yourself, they’re satisfied to have sold you software. That’s acceptable if your computer savvy and have all the time in the world but as chiropractors we are trained to correct spinal subluxations not computer and software subluxations. A company that is geared towards customer service will have a fantastic training program and follow up. You should also be provided with ongoing training very much like a lunch and learn program.</div>
<div> This leads to the next question: How often is your software providing new updates? Maybe you have a software system that has a new release every year and it’s simply to fix problems and add minor enhancements. Those modifications might even create havoc with the current way you use the system and you may even decide not to update. There are many reasons why a company creates update<span>s: </span></div>
<div>1. To entice you to buy upgrades</div>
<div>2. To solve problems</div>
<div>3. To add enhancements</div>
<div>Make sure you look for a software system that includes all your releases and has a rigid programming schedule. Put simply, they know where they’re going and how to get there.</div>
<div> The hallmark of efficient software is one that is constantly growing, providing new products and web services to meet the demands of growing businesses. As technology advances, if we want to remain viable in this economy, we need to change and adapt to new technology. Patients are expecting more and if you don’t provide it someone else down the street will meet those expectations. The software system you are using can make or break the patient’s perception in your office. Do you want to be remembered as old school or new school?</div>
<div>If your current software is meeting your needs and keeping up with all the available web services and advanced features then fantastic. What happens when they’re not keeping up with new technology and you want to advance?</div>
<div>Unfortunately so many office settle for second best simply because their afraid to change or disrupt the office. What are your options for making that shift and what should you do? </div>
<div>Look for a company that will provide you with a records conversion for your current system. Is that possible and do companies provide that type of service? From experience I can tell you that very few organizations provide a records conversion and if they do it is very limited. If a conversion is possible ask them beforehand what to expect from the conversion. If they haven’t previously converted your system it will require a larger investment in time on their part and your cooperation. You won’t know how much info is going to be converted until you receive the final result. Since your stepping into the unknown ask for previous conversion referrals.</div>
<div>If they don’t provide a conversion be prepared to hear one of these four common reasons why.</div>
<div>1.<span>      </span>Your current system is so outdated we can’t possibly retrieve any info.</div>
<div>2.<span>      </span>Your current system might be damaged and we don’t want to transfer corrupt information.</div>
