Mercy Guidelines -- Alive and Well

By Editorial Staff
A chiropractic paper recently published erroneous information on the availability of the Guidelines for Chiropractic Quality Assurance and Practice Parameters: Proceedings of the Mercy Center Consensus Conference, published by Aspen in 1993.

Aspen Publishers, Inc., sent us two letters to explain the situation:

Dynamic Chiropractic
Attn: Editor
P.O. Box 6100
Huntington Beach, CA 92615-6100

Dear Editor:

Enclosed is a letter written to the Chiropractic Journal regarding their article entitled "Mercy Runs Out!" The article, which appeared in the Journal's March 1998 issue, incorrectly suggested that the Guidelines for Chiropractic Quality Assurance and Practice Parameters: Proceedings of the Mercy Center Consensus Conference, otherwise known as the Mercy Guidelines, is no longer in print.

We are concerned that this letter may not be printed as requested. Therefore, we would very much appreciate it Dynamic Chiropractic would publish this letter to correct any misunderstandings the article may have caused. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Amy R. Martin, MHS
Acquisitions Editor

Dear Editor:

The article entitled "Mercy Runs Out" in your March 1997 issue is inaccurate. It incorrectly suggests that the Guidelines for Chiropractic Quality Assurance and Practice Parameters: Proceedings of the Mercy Center Consensus Conference (the Mercy Guidelines) is no longer in print. On the contrary, the Mercy Guidelines remains one of our best sellers. It is currently especially popular with doctors of chiropractic.

What is true, however, is that the hardcover edition is no longer available. The remainder of these have been sold to Dynamic Chiropractic, and Aspen is not planning any additional printings at this time.

Please print this letter to correct the information conveyed to your readers. For those who would like to order the Mercy Guidelines, they may do so by calling Aspen Publishers, Inc., at 1-800-638-8437.

Sincerely,

Amy R. Martin, MHS
