The planning continues for a great Continuity SIG meeting in Boston. Mark your calendars for our meeting on Sunday, April 29, from 8-11. Please remember that we plan on increasing the opportunities for discussion with two break-out sessions. The first is to tackle continuity issues with respect to the possible revisions of the RRC guidelines. The second will be for Cwick Conti Consults, a chance to problem solve your continuity dilemmas with other experienced continuity directors. We will have more details in the April newsletter.
The Continuity SIG and CORNET have collaborated on a Special Grants submission to the APPD. This would help launch the SIG study on determining the effect of the ACGME changes on the level of continuity over time. We are looking for funding to support a site for organizing the study (APA/CORNET headquarters) and a site for collecting and analyzing data (Oklahoma). Thanks to Paul Darden, Susan Feigelman, and Lynn Garfunkel for putting the grant together. We will be sending out additional information and an IRB template in February.
See you in Boston!
