DIVING INTO THE CONVERSATION

Avoiding the EHR Trap

Dan pulls no punches when it comes to chiropractors chasing shiny objects in the tech world. He warns against switching EHR systems without fully understanding the cost in time, energy, and hidden chaos. In one case, a practice had to hire a full-time employee for eight months just to manage the transition, and still had to run both systems years later. His advice? Don’t switch unless absolutely necessary. And if you must, approach it like hiring a key staff member: ask hard questions and demand transparency.

Cybersecurity and Vendor Vetting

Dan reveals a sobering case where a Connecticut chiropractor faced $130,000 in fines because a vendor they trusted experienced a data breach. Even though the vendor claimed HIPAA compliance, the doctor was held responsible for failing to properly vet them. His advice? Don’t rely on “checkbox compliance.” Dig deep. Ask the uncomfortable questions. Or partner with experts like Dan’s team who know how to audit for true protection.

EHR Doesn’t Mean Easy

Switching EHRs might feel like a step forward, but Dan makes it clear that most chiropractors underestimate the hidden costs. From staff burnout to regulatory risks, the wrong move can cripple a practice. Dan recommends documenting everything you love and hate about your current EHR and using that list to ask each new vendor a critical question: Where do you suck? That level of candor can reveal more than any sales pitch.

Balancing Hustle with Life

Dan isn’t all code and compliance. He shares his love of flying, family, and purpose. His company’s fifth core value is “Enjoy life and balance the journey” a reminder that chiropractors, like their patients, need to invest in wellbeing beyond the adjusting table. As Dan says, “Work hard, yes. But play hard too.”

Final Takeaway

Technology should serve your mission, not sabotage it. Build systems that support your purpose and vendors who truly have your back. If you want to protect your practice and expand your impact, this episode is your wake-up call.
