Referral System Chiropractic Healthcare Information and Research Office (CHIRO) Systems introduces The Medical Referral System, a program that creates a pipeline of referrals from doctors in your area. Compared to traditional chiropractic marketing concepts, The Medical Referral System offers a cost-effective opportunity for establishing successful working relationships with medical professionals. The system allows you to provide quality information concerning chiropractic and other health care issues. The 50 or more monthly letters and 50 or more research summaries with supporting information sent to medical professionals provide expert research that allows you to establish relationships with your area physicians, which, in turn, stimulates referrals. The system also includes 30 or more documentation forms, which allow you to streamline reports to medical professionals. A PowerPoint template that you can customize to describe your office can be added to introduce yourself and your office to local medical professionals. An implementation manual is also included as a road map to the complete system.
