Last month, the American Osteopathic Association held their annual meeting “OMED 15” in Orlando, FL. We were in attendance, meeting with DOs and practice managers from coast to coast.
The conference was interesting, with sessions discussing how DOs can help patients make better lifestyle choices, manage medication and side effects, and even help DOs translate medical jargon.
Looking at patients as a whole, not just a symptom, is so much a part of the DO approach to care. We were pleased at how many attendees stopped by our booth to learn how a membership model can add and enhance the physician/patient relationship and ultimately improve the health of both patients and practices.
