The Games We Play

Summary
Our EHR allows us to populate why patients self-discharge and when we reviewed the data, we clearly identified that "Feeling better" was one of the main reasons patients discontinue care.
Patients feeling better is a good thing, right? Yes! But if they don't complete their care, and they are only symptomatically better, but not functionally better, then their condition may return.
We built the app with all sorts of benefits: The patients get points every time they attend their clinic visit.
The patients can do their home exercises right through the app.
The patient can schedule a visit, leave reviews, or refer a friend or family member, and more - all through the app!
We reviewed some preliminary data and it strongly suggested that our patients who downloaded the app were more adherent to their care plan.
Because we are on the cusp of supporting exponential growth for chiropractic and the patients we serve!
