How to Get More From Your INITIAL PATIENT INTAKE, Save Time, and Increase VALUE to Your Patient

Hi! I'm Dr. Dicken Weatherby. When I first started in practice, I thought that sitting and taking an exhaustive history was the right way to practice alternative and complementary medicine.

I was WRONG.

Listening to our patients is a must! Spending hours of their time in the process is not.

After a short while, I realized that I was spending most of my time listening to my patients! Writing down every word they said, taking exhaustive notes, and then only being able to do a cursory physical exam, write a quick script for some labs before sending them home with a promise to get back with them once the results come back! I felt I was always rushing around, invariably late for the next patients and usually drowning in the charting at the end of the day.

Can you relate?

I thought about cutting my initial consult down to 45 minutes, but that didn't help. Then I got involved in the creation of a history taking system that has become an invaluable part of my practice over the last 5 years.

I helped create a system of data gathering that has cut my history taking in half while increasing my clinical efficacy ten-fold. Signs and symptom gathering has become a seamless part of my work.

How did I do it? I use a simple questionnaire that I helped create to gather all of the vital information from my patient before they even come through my door! Then I get this questionnaire evaluated by a powerful software program called the NAQ.

With a health appraisal questionnaire your patients give you the pertinent details of their diet, lifestyle, medications, and symptoms organized by systems of the body. They fill it out-- you do the analysis.

For the analysis I use a comprehensive Functional Signs and Symptoms Analysis book that I wrote to analyze the questionnaire and an analysis software called NAQ version 1.5.

Here's just a sampling of what you will get from using this Functional History Taking System

Disclaimer:
The NAQ software was developed by Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA). It does make product recommendations for the Biotics Research line of products but you can ask it to give generic recommendations. I have no financial relationship with Biotics Research and recommend this software to you because it happens to be the software that accompanies my Signs and Symptoms Analysis book and I use it all the time. In my opinion you will not get a more powerful analysis program for this price anywhere!

And, as always with any Functional Diagnosis production, you'll get much more than you pay for, along with a 100% money-back guarantee.
