Are you ready for P.I.P. to go away? I

don’t want to sound like the little boy

who cried wolf, but this session could be

the one that says Goodbye P.I.P.

State Senator Jeff Brandes filed a repeal

of SB 156 or P.I.P. as he feels “PIP is a broken insurance

system, and it does not reflect the reality of Florida’s

transportation future.” “PIP fraud impacts every driver in

our state and no proposal is more effective at reducing

premiums than a full repeal of PIP.”

So, when would (NOW) be a good time to evaluate your

practice and see how much this may impact your practice?

I strongly suggest that you mark your calendar now for

January 9th and 10th!!!

The P.C.C.S. is providing FREE transportation for 2017 Paid

Members and students to attend ChiroDay On The Capitol.

Why should you take a day off and go to Tallahassee? One

reason is to represent your profession and your community.

It makes a difference if we have a big group of DCs who

want to show our Legislators that we are involved in the

process. Remember, it is our patients who suffer if laws are

passed that unfavorable to the consumer.

Many DCs sit back and don’t participate in the process and

then wonder why things don’t go our way. If we want a

seat at “The Big Kids Table” then we need to show support

in participation and financial contribution.

It is like the sports fan who criticizes their sports team for

not signing the big name free agent, having a losing record,

and not winning championships. In this case the fan never

attends a game, never buys merchandise, and doesn’t even

watch the game, but complains how the team doesn’t know

what they’re doing. Don’t be an arm chair quarterback…get

involved.

I would suggest you look at what you collect on an average

Tuesday. Then calculate how much you collect per year in

P.I.P. Then decide whether taking off one day to help save

or at least let your legislators know why they shouldn’t

repeal P.I.P. is important enough to go to Tallahassee.

If after that exercise you still don’t feel you can attend, then

please at least make a contribution to PAC to help support

those who do feel it is important enough to participate.

Remember, this is not just about P.I.P., it involves all

aspects of legislation in our lives, both personally and

professionally.

I hope to see you on Jan 9th and 10th.

Contact Jennifer Comey, Executive Director to R.S.V.P. for

ChiroDay On The Capitol and Cris Langheier to make a

contribution for PAC.

Happy New Year!!!

NEW YEAR’S

RESOLUTIONS

At the beginning of each New Year most

of us go through the process of

establishing resolutions. With anticipatory

excitement, we create a wish list that

include things we want to do but are not

obligated to complete. The common list

includes losing weight, exercise more and spend more time

with family. In general, the goal is to improve one’s life,

both personal and professional. As a clinician, you likely

have resolutions for your office, many of which are oriented

toward increasing income. In regards to New Year’s resolu-

tions in your professional life, one should consider ways in

which to improve the use of diagnostic imaging services in

your office. Here are some suggestions:

UPGRADE YOUR EQUIPMENT - There are many

practitioners who have had the same equipment and have

utilized radiology in the same manner for the past 20 to 30

years. I still read x-ray films that use individual lead letters

and numbers to identify the patient’s name and date of films.

(Many of you are not even familiar with that form of film

identification.) If your film cassette screens create artifacts

or your film processor sounds like an infant’s squeaky toy or

the Smithsonian has asked to exhibit your equipment, it is

likely a good time to upgrade. If you do, it needs to be

digital and it needs to be good quality. Prepare for sticker

shock.

QUALITY ASSURANCE – As physicians, we have a duty

to do what is best for the patient. In regards to diagnostic

imaging, it is important to develop a specific and

comprehensive protocol for your imaging services. This

begins with the decision to use some form of diagnostic

imaging and ends with the final product…the actual image.

Review all the steps that are required to accomplish this and

determine where changes can be made to minimize patient

exposure and improve image quality.

IMAGE QUALITY – Are you satisfied with the quality of

your images? Poor quality images reflect on both you as a

practitioner and on the entire profession. Make it a goal to

improve your image quality with the equipment that you

have. There are often simple fixes to the common errors that

are seen in image production. If necessary, review your

factor chart (if you still use one). Equipment needs to be

calibrated, screens and processors need to be cleaned

regularly and darkrooms need to be dark. If you have digital

equipment, be sure the software is up to date and any

required maintenance is performed. Collimate, collimate,

collimate. This improves image quality and can reduce

patient dosage.

EDUCATION – The most important function of the practi-

tioner regarding diagnostic imaging is to determine when

imaging is indicated and which is the appropriate modality to

order. Don’t practice by habit. Each case is different and

therefore the requirements for imaging are different. Learn

the advantages and disadvantages for each modality so that

you feel more confident in your orders. Know when to use

contrast MRI and understand why CT may be a better choice

in some cases. Develop a clear rationale for ordering flexion

and extension x-ray or MRI images. Understand the value of

images that you do not regularly perform, such as chest

films. Learn to navigate the various image viewers that are

contained on CDs produced by imaging centers. Review

basic terminology that may be contained in an image report.

Review State rules and regulations that relate to the use of

ionizing radiation and be certain you are in compliance.

IMAGING CENTERS – It seems that there is an increasing

number of physicians that are opting out of the

responsibilities of owning their x-ray equipment and are

choosing to send patients to a local diagnostic imaging

center. Choose the center wisely. Make it a goal to visit a

center, introduce yourself and learn about the equipment that

they have. Be sure that the center knows your needs, who

you are, what you do, what your profession is about and that

is has radiologists with which you are comfortable in

consulting.

I would imagine that creating New Year’s resolutions, in

regards to diagnostic imaging, is not a top priority. But one

of mine is to continue to help and encourage the clinicians in

our profession to do that which is best for the patient when it

comes to ionizing radiation and other forms of diagnostic

imaging.
