Description:
This one-hour presentation explores the ethical, legal, and clinical challenges of providing chiropractic care to patients with cognitive impairment. From Alzheimer’s disease to traumatic brain injury, chiropractors are increasingly encountering patients whose ability to understand, consent to, and comply with treatment is compromised. This presentation will equip clinicians with tools to recognize cognitive red flags, involve caregivers appropriately, maintain HIPAA compliance, and ensure accurate and defensible documentation. Practical examples, case studies, and a step-by-step HIPAA flowchart are included to support clinical practice.
