Panel Discussion

Implementing Evidence-Based Health Care within the Chiropractic Profession

The most meaningful trend to emerge in health care in the past 25 years has been the development of the principles of Evidence-Based Health Care (EBHC). This panel will address the issue of how the chiropractic profession promotes EBHC within its ranks. The issues will be addressed from four different perspectives: professional education, private practice, government, and third party payors. A representative from each domain will present details of a specific program they have administered that is intended to promote EBHC within chiropractic.

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:

Describe the specific elements of four EBHC programs within the chiropractic profession.
Recognize the barriers to implementing EBHC principles in chiropractic.
Construct plans to overcome barriers to implementing EBHC principles in chiropractic.
