When can the Board or its designees inspect a chiropractor's practice?

The Board or its designees can inspect a chiropractor's practice during regular business hours because this aligns with professional standards and the operational nature of healthcare facilities. Regular business hours are typically when the practice is open, ensuring that there are staff and patients present who can provide necessary information and context for the inspection. This timeframe is conducive to allowing the inspection to proceed smoothly, minimizing disruptions to patients and the practice itself.

Inspections conducted during these hours also ensure that the Board can effectively assess compliance with state regulations, standards of practice, and the overall quality of care provided. While there may be instances where after-hours inspections could be warranted, the standard protocol is to conduct them during the time when the practice is operating normally, ensuring greater transparency and cooperation.
