DJP Update 11-7-2010 DJPNEWS tweets of yesterday and today:  Leadership, AMA, & Saints – Parallels

DJP Comment:  I see analogy with Saints for AMA.  Read tweets in reverse order; start at bottom of list and work up.  If you want to see all tweets emerging from all in House of Delegates using hashmark #AMAmtg : go to www.twitter.com and put in search engine there the hashmark #AMAmtg

Wish I could be at meeting!

If you want to see my tweets, go to www.twitter.com/DJPNEWS

Special attention to one tweet about membership and communication (3rd one down on list).  Membership is falling in AMA.  Probably 15% or less.  The way to enhance it is:

1- Follow long-standing House of Delegates policy of AMA in PolicyFinder (found on AMA Website and can be downloaded).  As you know well from previous DJP Updates at http://donaldpalmisano.com/djp_update/ , don’t support PPACA without getting AMA policy included:  Medical liability reform, Private-contracting, keep the patient in control with the doctor as trusted advisor, etc.  But I repeat myself.  Sorry.

2- Enhance communication to all doctors in America.  One immediate way is to allow the public to watch the debate at AMA House of Delegates, including reference committees.  The world will understand the pro and con of policy decided.  THEN allow MEMBERS OF AMA to to put in their password and watch debate of Board of Trustees.  Get transparency!  This also allows accountability to follow!

I have advocated this for years from floor of House of Delegates and when I was on AMA Board.  Yet it has not occurred.  Membership game plan in place is failing rapidly.  Time for innovation.  The technical tools are available;  we just need the WILL to do it.  Brownian Motion is no longer an option.  Let’s make AMA a champion again!
