AcuGraph® and the Acupuncture Practice
|
|
|
AcuGraph® makes an excellent addition to your acupuncture practice by facilitating patient education, providing rapid diagnosis, and attracting new patients. Rather than replacing, AcuGraph® enhances your clinical diagnostic skills by providing valuable insights into your patients’ conditions.
"AcuGraph® makes the elusive concept of “chi” a reality for my patients. They become more committed to their treatment plans and experience the best results. You have created a wonderful tool for helping humanity."
—James Maguire, D.Ac., Dipl.Ac., Acupuncture Physician

 Objective Documentation
AcuGraph® provides objective, computerized documentation of the need for and the effectiveness of your care, in a format patients readily embrace. AcuGraph is designed from top to bottom to be a learning tool for your patients, everything is presented in a format they readily understand. With AcuGraph® Evidence-Based Acupuncture™, patient confidence and your professional image are both enhanced.
"AcuGraph® II enables me to make an objective, reproducible measure of a patient's condition that is easily understood by the patient. Unlike pulse, tongue or hara the patient can readily see the results and the results of subsequent re-exams. It's a great way to document and justify treatment and the charts and pictures are beautiful."
—Dwayne Borgstrand, L.Ac.

Financial Rewards
A recent NCCAOM study showed that 60% of the general American Public wants acupuncture as a treatment option, yet many are reluctant to seek this type of care, and many acupuncturists struggle. AcuGraph® helps you build your practice on a secure financial footing in two important ways:
First, AcuGraph® helps you attract new patients. At public screenings, or as a marketing tool, the high-tech aspect of computerized diagnosis enhances your professional image and removes the mystery and fear from acupuncture treatment.
"I use the AcuGraph® at screenings. I usually generate 4 to 8 new consultations from a 2 hour screening. It's the best marketing tool I've ever used!"
—Robert Dorris, D.O.M.
"I had the usual good results at the screening. We signed up 6 new patients in 4 hours."
—Dwayne Borgstrand, L.Ac.
Second, AcuGraph® helps you build your practice through patient referral. AcuGraph® patients regularly refer their friends and family for the same fast, easy exam and treatments they experienced. They have the printed exam results to show as proof of the effectiveness of their care, and they are feeling so much better, they can’t help but brag about your practice.
"I love AcuGraph! There's just no substitute for being able to show patients exactly what is happening with their condition and their care. My patients love the information, and are more committed to my treatment plan because of AcuGraph."
—Christopher Harrison, L.Ac

Patient Communication
The AcuGraph® exam results are presented in a graphical, symptoms-based format, allowing your patients to see for themselves the correlations between acupuncture meridian energetics and good health. The printed report gives convincing information about the exam findings, and the graphs provide a visual reference for doctor-patient discussion of care. Over 60% of AcuGraph® users report this interaction with the patient is the most valuable benefit of using the system.
"I love the AcuGraph®. And the reason I love it is that my patients adore it. They love to see their readings and have these interpreted."
—Michael Hunter, L.Ac.
