I t's our annual Technology and Software issue! This year, our cover story features a true leader in the chiropractic profession, as well as in technology and software. Dr. Maurice Pisciottano, President and CEO of Pro Adjuster, a company with a high tech tool used both to document and adjust subluxations. ProAdjuster is taking the profession by storm! The technology is now being imple- merited at three of the largest chiropractic colleges, Logan, Palmer, and Northwestern. Go to any of chiropractic's major seminars and you'll find that ProAdjuster is one of the companies with the largest presence. And their enduring alliances with chiropractic's elite, such as Foot Levelers, The Masters Circle, Douglas Labs and many others, only continues to contribute to the ongoing success of the business and the vision that Dr. Pisciottano has—to make "chiropractic the number one health care choice on the planet earth!" Whether you're already familiar with Dr. Pisciottano and his work and philosophy or not, you'll find lots of useful tips and advice for achieving success in practice in his interview, beginning on page 38, with TAOs newest editorial board member, Dr. Frank Corbo, Co-Founder of Chiropractic Wellness and Fitness Magazine for patients. Another exciting feature in technology this issue is our Innovations column interview with Claude Cote of Platinum System (page 42), a company that has made it possible for you to bar code every step in your office so that patients can move faster and more efficiently through! This will completely eliminate the need for you and your chiropractic assistants to be tied up in paperwork all day! I had the pleasure of witnessing a presentation about Platinum System's exciting technology at the Chiropractic'06 symposium this past February, and the implications this has for improving your business AND your patient care is truly amazing! If you're looking for more exciting ways to improve efficiency in your office, you'll find all of the best and latest options in our "Hi Tech Patient Care" feature beginning on page 44, in which we've listed the best hi tech options available in the 10 stages of patient care, from 1, "Marketing," to 10, "Billing & Collections," you'll find the finest solutions for your practice here! Don't get overwhelmed by so many great options, though! First, narrow down where your practice is most in need of improvement, and then look for the color coded bars to guide you. We've made this article an easy to reference guide that you'll want to hold onto all year long. Finally, in another feature article on technology. Herb Newborg, of Chiropractic America, a company reputed for its amazing public relations mission to get the chiropractic message into the mainstream media and mindset, which has, in the past, run TV commercials on large cable networks and print advertisements in publications like USA Today, is now looking to the internet! Turns out that the number one source for "honest" information—the internet—turns up some pretty ugly information on chiropractic. See Herb's article on page 38 to find out how you can turn it around and benefit your own practice at the same time! In closing up this technology issue, the speaker list keeps expanding for TACs Annual Chiropractic International Symposium in Panama, Feb. 22-24th, 2007.
