Chiropractic and Healthcare Reform: Improving Outcomes, Delivery, and Affordability of Healthcare Keynote Speaker: Clem Bezold, PhD Chairman and Senior Futurist, Institute for Alternative Futures Chiropractic 2025: Which Future? Chiropractic faces significant challenges and opportunities. The major forces and uncertainties include the direction and pace of health care reform (PPACA); pressures on cost reductions in health care; integration of DCs into primary care, ACOs and payer networks; chiropractic identity, coherence and divisiveness in the field; the overall demand for chiropractic services and the income of chiropractors. These and other factors lead to alternative futures: the Chiropractic 2025 Scenarios.
8:45 am – 9:55 am Columbia 5 - 8
Opening Plenary Panel Discussion Chiropractic and Healthcare Reform: Improving Outcomes, Delivery, and Affordability of Healthcare This session will focus on the three main factors of improving the health care system in the United States and how these factors relate to chiropractic practice, research, and education. These three areas must be able to measure and balance improving quality, delivery/accessibility, and affordability/cost of healthcare. The panelists will discuss how these can be addressed from their experiences in their industries and unique points of view, including education, research, and clinical practice.

Is There a Place for DCs Within the Emerging American Health Care System? The US Affordable Care Act has codified many of the recent trends in health care including evidence-based care, care coordination, and medical homes. Regardless of specifics that may be amended by Congress, emerging delivery systems, medical information, and health care financing mechanisms are marginalizing traditional non-integrated single-provider practice models. This workshop will summarize current and evolving delivery approaches with exploration of implementing an integrated, comprehensive medical model for two settings: Diabetes care in family practice and occupational health care in chiropractic practice. Robert Mootz, DC, Associate Medical Director, State of Washington Department of Labor & Industries; Olympia, WA Daniel Hansen, DC, Director, Care Coordination, Beacon Community of the Inland Northwest; Program Director Eastern Washington Center for Occupational Health & Education, Spokane, WA	Incorporating current standards for health promotion, disease prevention and wellness into chiropractic programs. The U.S. Affordable Care Act of 2010 places a strong emphasis on chronic disease prevention and health promotion. Within the chiropractic profession, in 2007 the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) adopted a set of competencies in wellness, and in 2012, "best practice" recommendations were made by a multidisciplinary panel concerning chiropractic care for the purpose of wellness, prevention and health promotion. This workshop will help prepare DCs for the increasing emphasis on chronic disease prevention and health promotion in the health care system. A panel of speakers will present a framework to integrate recent CCE competencies and consensus recommendations on these topics within the context of chiropractic education and practice and gather information from the participants on practical ways to implement the framework, as well as identify barriers to such an implementation and possible strategies to overcome them. Cheryl Hawk, DC, PhD, Logan College of Chiropractic Daniel Redwood, DC, Cleveland Chiropractic College Bryce Conrad, B Chir, M Chir, Private practice and Chair, Research Committee, Chiropractors' Association of Australia Martha Kaeser, DC, Affiliation: Logan College of Chiropractic	NCCAM's Research-Training and Research Development Opportunities for Individuals and Institutions in the Chiropractic Profession This workshop will present NCCAM's research-training vision, philosophy and opportunities available for both individuals and institutions. This session is an interactive opportunity for the audience to learn about NCCAM's new research-training program titled Interdisciplinary Complementary and Integrative Health Clinical Research Training Award (T90/R90) aimed to support the Center's research capacity building goals by furthering development of a research workforce with the combination of scientific skills and clinical research experience needed for competitive, collaborative integrative health research. The workshop will also highlight the science NCCAM is funding in the Manipulative Therapies field and will describe the scientific directions that would be impactful for the ACC-RAC community. Alberto L. Rivera-Rentas, PhD - Program Director, Division of Extramural Research, NCCAM, NIH Partap S. Khalsa, DC, PhD, Program Director, Division of Extramural Research, NCCAM, NIH	Writing a grant: What is the statistician's role and how do I find one? There is little statistical support available at chiropractic colleges; although some colleges have developed good collaborations with outside statisticians, this remains the exception and may be a barrier to researchers being competitive for grant funding. If researchers in chiropractic environments can develop effective collaborations with statisticians, it will increase the quality of their grant submissions. This workshop will help researchers, in particular research trainees, fellows and junior faculty, in their grant writing efforts with an emphasis on important issues pertaining to a statistician's role on collaborating in grant writing, how to find and effectively collaborate with a statistician, critical issues that need to be addressed under statistical methods such as sample size justification, and what reviewers look for in the statistical methods section. Cynthia R. Long, PhD, Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research, Palmer College of Chiropractic Laura Lee Johnson, PhD , Lead Biostatistician, Office of Clinical and Regulatory Affairs (OCRA), NCCAM, NIH	ACC Leadership Workshop - Engaging with Institutional Effectiveness This workshop will assist participants in identifying and addressing opportunities to demonstrate institutional effectiveness in all operational areas of the institution. Participants will learn the meaning of "institutional effectiveness" and be able to demonstrate an understanding of the implication of institutional effectiveness at the level of their area of responsibility. Participants will identify an opportunity to demonstrate how their area of responsibility contributes to the effectiveness of their home institution and will outline a process to operationalize institutional effectiveness.

Cost-Effectiveness: Study Methodologies, Healthcare Provider Costs, Effects upon National Healthcare Expenditures, and Implications of Expanding the Role of Chiropractic Given that the national healthcare insurance debate has come to a head with the recent Supreme Court decision and an upcoming national election, it is highly pertinent to review the major drivers of healthcare costs and the relative efficiencies with which comparable services may be delivered by the chiropractic profession matched against other healthcare providers. This workshop seeks to review cost-effectiveness issues pertaining to chiropractic care regarding the quality of the literature published to date, the actual data representing the costs of specific modalities, and the implications regarding their impact upon the national budgets of both the United States and Canada. A synopsis in the form of a handout and a manuscript incorporating what was discussed by both presenters and the audience are intended to spark more widespread public awareness of these issues with support for an expanded role of chiropractic in delivering healthcare services. Anthony Rosner, PhD, LLC [Hon] International College of Applied Kinesiology – USA Don Nixdorf, DC Executive-Director of the British Columbia Chiropractic Association and author of Squandering Billions: Health Care in Canada	Understanding the Language of Clinical Outcomes or Yeah, yeah, but what does it really mean? The purpose of the workshop is to aid the practitioner in interpreting outcomes reported in research studies and communicating these results to patients. Research results are conveyed in many different ways, usually in the language of statistics. All too often the reader is left with an incomplete understanding of what the terms actually mean and lack a framework to interpret the magnitude of a treatment benefit or risk. This workshop is specifically designed for an audience who has no background in statistics.

The purpose of this workshop is to present chiropractic colleges' research curricula: credit hours and course descriptions, current issues in and emphasize the importance of EBE and EBP, conduct a nominal group process to generate recommendations about optimal research curriculum for chiropractic education, goals of research curricula, credit hours and sequence of courses, and assessing information literacy and science/research literacy. A consensus statement to NBCE requesting the inclusion of research questions will be developed.

Plenary Current State of Chiropractic Education, Research, and Practice: Report from ACC Executive Officers Dr. Brassard – update from the ACC President Dr. McAulay – update from the ACC Vice President Update on ACC Enrollment project Dr. Marchiori – update from the ACC Secretary Professional Identity: Findings from Palmer College of Chiropractic Doctors of Chiropractic and outside experts have long realized that the lack of an agreed-upon public identity hampers the profession's ability to thrive. Furthermore, limited authority remains a significant barrier to chiropractic's growth. In part, improved authority is dependent on the profession's ability to communicate a simple, concrete, and credible professional identity that resonates with the public and other providers in the health care industry. Palmer College of Chiropractic recently completed a 3-year effort to come to consensus on the most important components of a chiropractic identity statement, crafted in a manner to generate maximum public awareness and acceptance. Building on similar efforts by the World Federation of Chiropractic and others, the result is based on data from an extensive series of focus groups and surveys, including a survey of the general public. In addition to providing a succinct description of the role of a Doctor of Chiropractic, identity projects like those undertaken by Palmer College, the World Federation of Chiropractic, and other groups have the potential to align and unify the profession, allowing its leaders to focus more effectively on external threats and opportunities in this most challenging of times.

Placing Health Front and Center in Discussions of Health Care Reform This workshop will explore a question that should be central to any discussion on Health Care Reform: Is this good for the health of the American people? The role and rationale of the Public Health community (especially APHA) as proponents of Health Care Reform will be discussed. This session will attempt to de-politicize the discussion and focus on the potential health ramifications of Health Care Reform, with an emphasis on decreasing health disparities and access to preventive and primary health services.

A panel will review the common modes of delivery for spine care to older adults including medical, surgical and non-surgical strategies. We will assess strengths and weaknesses of the current modes, discuss how these modes may change in the environment of healthcare reform and present a model for delivery of spine care in the older adult utilizing an innovative "care pathway" that emphasizes screening procedures and appropriate triage strategies. The panel will discuss how the chiropractic profession can fill an important role in the management of spinal pathology in older adults, including both treatment and prevention strategies.

The Rapid Response Team of the Council on Chiropractic Guidelines and Practice Parameters (CCGPP) assists practitioners who have encountered issues with payers in the authorization of necessary patient care. They do this through a structured process based solidly on the appropriate use of scientific evidence. The purpose of this workshop is to explain the Rapid Response Team process, demonstrate the practical value of research with clinical vignettes, and interact with participants to identify institutional research and educational opportunities in which practitioners and academicians can collaborate to promote evidence-based practice. This is a highly interactive workshop.

This workshop will provide an introduction to assessing information literacy (IL) experientially by taking an IL test and didactically through an overview of ACRL standards, librarians' and educators' roles in IL, the R25s, and CCE's Meta-Competency #6. Presenters will demonstrate the extent of current efforts for IL and the importance of psychometrically sound IL assessment. The small group process should leave attendees with a sense of the importance IL to EBE and EBP and the need for NBCE to include IL questions. There is a need for increased involvement in IL education and assessment throughout chiropractic.

Some chiropractic college technique departments have attempted to integrate chiropractic techniques by separating parts of a technique and integrating them into a "technique package" without apparent awareness of how a part might relate to the whole. While it is evident that some chiropractic techniques make claims without substantive data, it is also clear that there are positive aspects of chiropractic techniques that warrant greater study. Working together, our chiropractic academia and techniques representatives need to find avenues for greater cooperation in developing greater evidence, mutual respect, and awareness of the appropriateness of given techniques either partially or wholly.

Closing Plenary Panel Discussion Shifting Incentives and Team Care: Is Chiropractic Engaging the Right Collaborations to Co-Lead Medicine Toward a Whole Person Health Model? For the chiropractic profession to help lead a reform of medicine and become an essential component of the emerging system, we need to engage new healthcare reform opportunities and consider how they can be addressed from the educational, clinical and research perspectives. The purpose of this plenary presentation is to describe the convergence of political and economic motivations driving new openings to interprofessional practice and a "health and wellness focus" in education, practice and research. The presenters invite attendees to evaluate the potential of rising forms of collaboration to advance chiropractic values in health care for the benefit of the individual and population health. The session will conclude with suggestions for what the chiropractic profession will need to do seize these promising opportunities. John Weeks Executive Director.
