When I started doing the happy hours, I thought it would be difficult for patients to relax. But have found that it is not the case. I do not offer eye shades, but the lights are dim to add a relaxed ambiance and we have soft music playing. I have yet to have any patients complain about the group setting. If they are uncomfortable with it, I have not heard of it.

Yes, I do think it is appropriate to have your happy hour patients fill out the forms. I make it clear to them that I am not diagnosing or treating any particular physical ailment. See the link for more information regarding the form I use.

Yes, I have them sign a separate form that lets them know that I am not doing ANY diagnosing and treatment of ANY physical symptoms. I make it clear to them that the treatment is specific to calm the body and relax the mind. Check out the link I provided, it’s a sample of a form that I have my people sign. http://www.acupuncturemediaworks.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=206&category_id=26&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1
I hope this helps!

Hi Jeffrey,
I was wondering about the happy hour and consent forms. I understand having the people sign a consent form and stating that you are only using 2-3 points for a de-stress tx and not diagnosing or giving a full treatment. I have malpractice ins. that requires me to have all patients sign this particular arbitration agreement and on the back is a consent to acupuncture, a form I purchase from them and I can not reproduce, if I do, it is void.
So, do you think I need to have patient’s coming in for the Happy Hour sign this?
I love this idea for Happy Hour and I am starting it next week. Thank you.
In health,
Marlene
