Any hints or tips as to how I might use Clinic Office for clinic-based research? Let's say I wanted to know the outcome of all cases of low back pain or neck pain or asthma or low back pain with asthma, how would I do that? How would I know how often I've done an L4 adjustment and on what patients? How do I track patients I've referred for dentistry?

Thanks

This would be achieved through the use of Clinical Forms.

Using your example...
>> How would I know how often I've done
>> an L4 adjustment and on what patients?

You would create a clinical form (call it "Treatment Form" for the sake of arguement) and add a yes/no field called "L4 adjustment".

Each time you treat a patient, you would attach a treatment form to their record, and tick the "L4 adjustment" tickbox as appropriate.

From the patient screen you then perform a "Form & Custom Field Search".

Select the "Treatment Form" and tick the box next to "L4 adjustment" to indicate that you want to find all patients who have a tick in that box.

You can also add further search conditions on other form fields if you wish. Click OK to perform the search.
