Chronic disease is widely recognized as a major driver of lost productivity, presenteeism, sick leave, and disability-related costs for employers and public institutions.

 

Addressing the issue of truthfulness of clients when they’re taking the anonymous measurement questionnaire online.

Dr. Victor Jean Ouellette, DC, MS

 

Over a 52-year career as a chiropractor and wellness consultant in Ontario (1973–2025), I developed this questionnaire and program from extensive clinical experience. My post-graduate training includes a Master of Science in Biology-Nutrition (1987), and a three-year Sports Injury program at the Royal College of Chiropractic Sports Sciences (1989). During this training, I arranged to spend more than 30 hours as an observer in the Emergency Department of Hamilton General Hospital — unheard of in those days. See the "about the doctor" page for a full professional and personal profile.

 

To the Client Disclaimer & Purpose This website and all its contents are provided strictly for general informational and self?help purposes. They do not constitute medical or chiropractic advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have — or suspect you may have — any health condition, or are currently on medication, you should consult a licensed health professional before making any health?related decisions. Limitations & Results Disclaimer Results from the questionnaire and any Action Plan may vary widely from one individual to another. Outcomes depend on many factors including compliance, lifestyle, pre-existing conditions, and other variables. While the program draws on decades of clinical experience and observation, we cannot guarantee specific results.

 

 

What WRM Is
WRM is a self?help program designed to help clients measure key wellness indicators and develop Action Plans based on those measurements. Its purpose is to support personal awareness and healthy decision?making, not to provide medical or chiropractic treatment.

How It Works
Clients complete questionnaires as a tool to monitor key health and wellness indicators. Based on those measurements, clients develop (or are guided to develop) a personal Action Plan. However, clients remain entirely responsible for their own choices, actions, and decisions.

Resources Available to Clients
The program offers a range of support resources, including WRM tutoring instructors for guidance, an online library of materials, a ~35?page Report of Findings, and two books by Dr. Ouellette, DC, MS. These resources are intended to help clients make informed decisions and support their wellness journey.

Anonymity

One reason why the questionnaire is anonymous is to encourage truthfulness. Clients control their own Action Plan while managing their own busy lifestyle.

 

We caution people to be truthful on Pages 5 to 11 because clinicians may be interested in that particular set of data. Clinicians generally do not want to spend extensive time convincing patients to follow the science, as that is laborious and time-consuming. They generally prefer not to engage in that process. They do, however, want to know about important clinical measurement indicators. Those indicators are there for the clinicians in the Progress Chart Clinical Module, if they want to look at them and their patient has given them a redacted copy of their chart.

 

It is Wellness RISK Management that undertakes the labourious, time-consuming work of helping clients troubleshoot their Action Plan List. The client pays for that time themselves.

• Recall that at Wellness RISK Management, we are delivering no diagnosis, no therapy, no treatment plan of any kind.

WRM Instructors have the full Action Plan List for each client, which includes all 126 actions to be completed We deliver eight actionable items for every measurement made. The instructor can access additional Action Plan items pertinent to that client when necessary, because the WRM instructor has their own ~35-page Instructor’s Notes on this client for the relevant measurement time frame.

 

Measurement items were compiled over decades of clinical practice, guided by nutritional/wellness science published over the years, and observations from patient outcomes under standard chiropractic and wellness care.

Liability

Because this program provides only general, self?help guidance — and does not offer diagnoses or treatments — our risk, the client's risk, and any referring agency's risk is limited. However, as with any wellness-related information, outcomes depend on many factors, including accurate self?reporting and responsible use.
