Physicians & Chiropracters
Psychological services can benefit your patients and medical practice in 4 major ways:
More comprehensive care - psychological services can help your patients reduce stress and address any unhealthy habits and/or life-style issues (e.g., obesity, smoking, and lack of exercise) that could be exacerbating their physical conditions. Improved efficiency during office visits - patients who receive psychological services are more likely to focus on their medical issues and less on their emotional issues during medical appointments. Improved treatment compliance - patients who receive psychological services that address their emotional issues will feel more stable and happy, which can improve treatment compliance, life-style choices, and appointment attendance. Improved protection from malpractice suits - psychologists are uniquely trained to identify psychological risk factors for medication abuse and surgery candidacy.
