What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Healthsource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are obligated to use specific computer systems and software in their clinics. Item 8 states that franchisees must obtain their customer management, accounting, and billing software from HSWorx or another supplier designated by Healthsource Chiropractic. This ensures that all franchisees are using a standardized system that meets the franchisor's requirements for data management and operational efficiency.
Item 11 outlines Healthsource Chiropractic's role in providing specifications for the computer and billing system. Specifically, Healthsource Chiropractic will provide franchisees with the specifications for the computer and billing system, and the franchisee must install the system according to those specifications. This assistance helps franchisees set up their clinics with the necessary technology to operate effectively.
The requirement to use approved software and the franchisor's provision of system specifications are intended to maintain consistency and quality across all Healthsource Chiropractic franchises. While franchisees must purchase the software from an approved vendor, Healthsource Chiropractic offers support by defining the required system specifications. This coordinated approach ensures that franchisees have the necessary tools and guidance to manage their business operations effectively, while also adhering to the franchisor's standards.
