Hi Brent, 
 There is no need to change anything. 
 you see, when used in -48V application, the chip and all signals are referenced to the -48V node not the earth ground. 
 so if you are using the circuit in +48V, you could simply change the -48V to GND and -48VRTN to +48V. and the circuit would work. again you need to make sure all the current goes into +48V will all return back through the single GND path controlled by the ADM1073.
