COCIT's Affiliate Membership Category Expanded! (06-21-2007)
Thank
you to all COCIT members who voted in our March election. The response
was overwhelming - 91.5% of those voting chose to allow non-physicians
to join COCIT as Affiliate Members. To qualify, non-physicians must be
actively involved in the administration and practice of pediatric
medicine and be employed by or under the direct supervision of a Fellow
of the AAP. Affiliate Members will be eligible to subscribe to any of
our listservs, will have access to COCIT Members Only Web content, and
will receive our semi-annual newsletter. In addition, Affiliate
Membership includes a subscription to AAP News. You can find an
application for Affiliate Membership at
http://www.aap.org/member/AppforAffiliateMembership.pdf.
The application must include a letter of support from an AAP Fellow or
Specialty Fellow. If members of your office staff (RNs, PAs, PNPs,
office managers, etc) are interested in becoming Affiliate Members of
COCIT, please encourage them to do so! COCIT's Updated EHR Statement Published in Pediatrics (03-09-2007)
The clinical report titled, "Special Requirements of Electronic Health Records Systems in Pediatrics",
was published in the March 2007 issue of Pediatrics. The report,
authored by COCIT Immediate Past Chairperson Andy Spooner, is an update
of the 2001 policy statement by the Task Force on Medical Informatics.
Also, an article about the report appeared in this month's health blog. What you need to know about Phentermine and other popular weight loss products before you buy.
