CFHA requires that your presentation be FREE FROM COMMERCIAL BIAS. Educational materials that are a part of a continuing education activity such as slides, abstracts and handouts CANNOT contain any advertising or product‐group message.
The content or format of a continuing education activity or its related materials must promote improvements or quality in health care and not a specific propriety business interest of a commercial interest. Presentations must give a balanced view of therapeutic options. Use of generic names will contribute to this impartiality. If the educational material or content includes trade names, where available trade names for products of multiple commercial entities should be used, not just trade names from a single commercial entity. Faculty must be responsible for the scientific integrity of their presentations. Any information regarding commercial products/services must be based on scientific (evidence‐based) methods generally accepted by the medical community.

4. Do references on down time; allocate more menial tasks to low brain power time
5. With a team: use the team accountability to get your work done
Overwhelmed feeling—

27. Literature Gaps in Collaborative Family Health Care
Advocacy and policymakers;—how do they enact change?
Limited # of disciplines present in our literature (e.g. PharmD, Nurses, others)—how do we broaden this conversation?
Review from someone outside the system—what do they think about family healthcare?
Training and supervision—not much “best practice” literature about supervision/training for integrated care.

28. Literature Gaps II
Are there meta analytic reviews to consolidate the information about integrated care?
Dissecting best practice relating to different settings. E.g. inpt, outpt, private practice, etc.
Role of Emergency Med in providing medical home; linking in to primary care.
Collaborative models in EM?

29. Literature Gaps III
Effectiveness of school based clinics for care for kids
Cultural competence—what are best interventions for particular sub populations?
Role of technology in providing care—assessment.
Standardization of E.H.R. to provide standard approach to collaborative care.

30. We have a responsibility to test what actually makes a difference
We have a responsibility to test what actually makes a difference. Do your efforts help your patients feel better, live better? Does your design affect the quality of work life for your colleagues? It is hard to do research alone. This is CFHA. You know about working together.
Colleen

31. Literature Gaps IV
Competencies for practice across disciplines—they are published! Hooray!
How do we broaden our integrated work into other settings? E.g.
From public sector private practice
From primary care specialty care
Working in other settings, churches, shamans
Expanding our work to the medical neighborhood.

32. Literature Gaps V
Increasing voice of the family; greater attention to the community
Professional identity development—what happens for Beh Health folks moving into Medical setting? Is there something about personality? What are the factors for success?
