2- DJP speech at AMA November 2011
At the Interim Meeting of the AMA, held in November 2011 in New Orleans, I was invited to give a speech on leadership to the Organized Medical Staff Section, an important group represented in the AMA House of Delegates.
AMA has informed me that AMA has posted that speech on the Internet and it can be used for CME credit. AMA also informed me that it is free to AMA members but non-AMA members are charged $75.00. All fees go to AMA.
Here is a note from Kathryn Tinney at AMA. You can contact her if you have any questions should you decide to watch and listen to the speech and have any problems online: kathryn.tinney@ama-assn.org or 312.464.5450.

Doing the Right Thing for Our Patients- Leading as a Professional
Presented by the Organized Medical Staff Section (OMSS) of the American Medical Association. As the influence of health care reform unfolds, the role of physicians and their organizations will inevitably change. Given these changes, the relationship between physicians and their hospitals or physician organization will alter as a result. More physicians are becoming employed or under contract with an organization. Physicians will need to serve as leaders more now than ever to ensure the highest quality of care and value is provided in their communities and to protect the patient-physician relationship. Should you have any questions regarding this activity please contact Katie Tinney at kathryn.tinney@ama-assn.org or 312.464.5450.

I sent a handout of background information regarding leadership for the attending audience. The speech was extemporaneous without following a PowerPoint or printed outline. There was time for Q & A. The questions were good. In the video that I watched online, the 2nd question about another alternative to Medicare was heard but for some reason my response is missing and when you hear me speak I am answering the 3rd question regarding patient safety but the 3rd question is not heard on the video. I notified Katie Tinney and she will investigate. Perhaps the video had to be edited at the end to make it shorter in the Q & A portion but it is confusing for that one section. In the main talk, I give the lagniappe regarding my prediction that the U.S. Supreme Court would take up PPACA and also that it would be ruled unconstitutional by 5-4.
My point in the speech is one has to be a leader and do what is in the patient’s best interest. Don’t just accept dictates from government if you believe they hurt patients.
Check it out if time permits.
Stay well.
