WHAT IS A SPIRE?
A
t its core, Aspire is a state-of-the-art interactive clinical
note taking platform. It was built by chiropractors for
chiropractors, with the assurance of quality that comes
from an OCA product or service. “The goal with developing
Aspire was to provide chiropractors with all of the software
tools that they need for patient
engagement, communication,
information and interoperability
with other software systems.”
said Dr. Bob Haig, CEO of the
OCA. “We’re doing that by
involving members every step
of the way.”

THE
DE VELOPMENT
PROCESS
Aspire is being developed utilizing the
best practices available for complex
technological builds. In Aspire’s case
that means that the OCA is building it in
stages using a Minimum Viable Product
(MVP) approach.
An MVP is a development technique
in which a new product is developed
in stages so that each stage has the
minimal amount of features needed for
users to use the product. At each stage,
feedback is collected from users and the
current features, as well as new ones, are
improved upon. This continues until the
final product is complete.
With each release of Aspire, the OCA will
gather feedback from its members on
how it may improve the product to best
suit their needs.
The first stage of Aspire, which it is
currently in, focuses on developing
the clinical note taking features of the
software and will integrate fully with PMP
to handle all the patient management
features. Once the clinical features
are complete, development will then
begin on patient management features
until Aspire becomes a complete, fully
functional standalone product.
