into the set up and the running of your practice which can mean
the difference between struggling in practice, failure, and professional
success.

The
standards for acupuncturists and oriental medical practitioners
have been identified, transformed, and up leveled in concert with
this book's entrance in 1997, just prior to acupuncture's recognition
in America's CPT standards for codified insurance reimbursement.
Acupuncturists are now answerable to these new standards of compliance
of medical and regulatory bodies, mainstream medical institutions,
reimbursement plans, as well as the public. Hence, practice management
training including risk management, would be inadequate without
this book. Acupuncturists in America who are ignorant of new regulatory
standards of compliance stand on dangerous ground. If you missed
this book in school, if your apprentices, and employees have not
read this book, or you interface in other positions with acupuncturists,
it is an indispensable reference book.
For Health Professional Educational
Programs: The standards for acupuncture scope of practice,
procedures, equipment use, risk avoidance, and regulatory compliance,
etc. addressed in this book may be tested upon by the NCCAOM exam
for acupuncture licensing.. A vital class within the field of
practice management, Ethics and Risk Management, warrants this
text.
The author defines the legal, actual and projected risks, contraindications, and best strategies for compliance and competency. He discusses the scope of risk management, the context of the risks, be it location, risks of employees, risks with records and billing, medical advice, interpersonal aspects, nature of duties, negligence, primary care status, dilemma of nonstandard medicine and standards of care; FDA regulations, technical aspects of treatment, including sterilization, disinfection, and hazardous material protocols; legal regulations regarding assessing, treating, and recommendation aspects of acupuncture practice. He expertly addresses what you literally can and cannot do legally with various classes of procedures and devices, addressing those labeled or non-labeled and experimental ranging from acupuncture needles, moxibustion, cupping, coining, herbs and dietary supplements use, acupressure, electroacupuncture, laser and magnetic devices, sterilization and disinfection, hygienic and other safety practices.
