In 2009 the Obama Administration championed the development of the HITECH Act. Among its many ramifications were the development of “meaningful use” parameters intended to provide financial incentives through health care insurance reimbursement (Medicare, Medicaid) for health care entities to adopt technological advances to make health care more accessible and affordable. The HITECH Act accomplished this through […]

Analgesia & COVID Vaccination

Leave a Comment / Non-Opiate Analgesics, Opiate Crisis / By David Lambert

NSAIDS May Impair Host Defenses The preference for the use of non-opioid analgesics for pain should now be obvious. However as the option of public COVID-19 vaccination is now widely available in many states, practitioners should be cautioned about the routine use of NSAIDS for pain relief where their treatment may overlap a patient’s vaccination window.(1) NSAIDs inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) which plays a

How Much Is Too Much

Leave a Comment / Opiate Crisis / By David Lambert

Quantity/Frequency of Opiate Prescribing Has Limitations I received an unusual telephone call yesterday from the office of a military JG yesterday with an all too frequent inquiry. Apparently one of the doctors at her installation had taken a recent Oldwell Consulting’s opiate compliance course, and had referred her to us. She described piecemeal a scenario where

Getting Started

Ok, I paid my registration fee. What do I do now?

Category: Getting Started

Once you have paid your course registration fee, you will be able to access your course after you sign-in to your user account…which you just created. But you need a password!

Did you receive these emails?

A transaction receipt
A course confirmation
General User Instructions
Log-in details
And possibly others…

Are those emails in your “Inbox”? If not, check your spam folder. If they are in your spam folder, your email provider (or domain) is filtering messages from ce-dojo.com. If your registration emails from CE Dojo are being sent to spam, see our FAQ “I can’t find any emails from CE Dojo!!”.

One email provides you with log-in details you specified during registration. But, it will also prompt you with a link to set your password. When complete, these two credentials – user name and password – will provide access to your “account”. Write these down. If you forget your password, you can reset it yourself – see our FAQ “I forgot the password to my CE Dojo user account!”

Now that you have your password in hand, you can log into your account to access your course(s).

I can’t find any emails from CE Dojo!!

Category: Getting Started

Often times email services (Google, etc) will filter email away from your inbox. Did you check your spam folder? But, simply moving our email out of spam to your inbox will NOT prevent future emails from meeting the same demise. The solution is to add email addresses from CE Dojo to your contact list.

If you do not find any email communications from CE Dojo in any of your email folders – including spam – there is a very real possibility your internet service provider (ISP) may have a firewall that is blocking our email. We have found that even adding our email addresses to your contact list does not resolve this problem. We have identified a couple of problem ISPs:

RoadRunner (nc.rr.com)
Apple (iCloud.com)
Embarq
Frontier
HughesNet
And others…

In this case, there is no resolution to this problem other than to create a “free email” account with Gmail, YahooMail, Hotmail, etc. Provide CE Dojo with your new email address and we’ll update our records. Again, don’t forget to add us to your contact list!
