Committee Goal(s), Progress and Accomplishments: 1. Professional Review of New Perspectives – Review completed by Dan Ranly, PhD, professor emeritus of Missouri School of Journalism. Positive comments and good suggestions for improvement. Ken summarized, will comment on and prioritize, and send to committee for feedback. 2. Plan for 2010 Salary Survey – Waiting for results on LSU Salary Survey. Discussed using survey results (e.g., areas needing improvement) to define topics of future articles. 3. Develop and Publish a Special Focus Magazine – Selected Electronic Health Records as the topic. Committee has suspended goal – not a lot of interest in pursuing, securing funding. 4. Define, in Collaboration with the Education Committee, Continuing Education Units for Readers and Authors – No authors have requested CPE for writing articles; tabling until we have requests or a drop in articles. 5. Hold New Perspectives Authors’ Reception at Annual Conference – Decided to not have an Authors’ Reception at the conference since it is not effective recognition. Alton to coordinate with Conference Committee on ways to recognize authors. 6. Continue the Strategy to Expand Subscriptions beyond AHIA Members – Discussion deferred to next meeting. 7. Continue Goal of Exchanging Articles with Other Associations – Contact made with 3 organizations with mutual interests, 2 (ACFE, ACHE) were relatively interested in exchange and 1 (FEI) will allow us to reprint our their articles for a small fee. Ken to pursue complementary subscriptions to magazines and review articles for inclusion in NP.
