Dear Camille:

Your visit today was refreshing.  Thank you for investing the time.  We look forward to your next visit to SETMA.

This is a list of the materials we covered today and of the material which I promised to send you.  I thought you might like an electronic copy in case you wanted to share with others.

This has the group picture of SETMA providers and the Abraham Lincoln quote
In The News - Vital Signs – Examiner Publication

Harvard Business Review article about Single Payer System

The principles of being change agents is important to the foundation of SETMA:

This addresses the Four Principles SETMA identified in 2000 contrasted with MIPS and MACRA four categories identified in 2014.  The fact that they are identical, to us is significant.

We discussed the four seminal events which took place in SETMA in May, 1999.  The fourth is our principle of practicing a “celebratory spirit.”

We discussed the centrality of the team spirit to SETMA’s culture.

    About SETMA - The SETMA Team and The SETMA Culture

     SETMA Team:  same article with active hyperlinks:  About SETMA - The SETMA Team and The SETMA Culture

    Twenty-First Century Medicine and Team Building          
               
    Before SETMA understood that Twenty-First Century medicine could not be practiced with pencil and paper (19th Century Medical Record Methodology) or with Dictation and Transcription (20th Century Medical Record Methodology), both of which drove us to Electronic Medical Records in 1998, SETMA understood that the demands of 21st Century medicine would require a team approach to healthcare delivery. All of the team building concepts in this chapter about SETMA’s beginnings were enunciated in 1995 and 1996. They have been repeated and refined but they have been part of the organizational spirit of SETMA from the beginning.

The last document we discussed was SETMA’s Model of Care

The following are the documents which I promised to send you and did under separate cover:

  1. EPM Tools - Tutorial for the EMR Automated Team Function
  1. Day Care Philosophy for First Baptist Church, Beaumont, Texas
  1. “The Nurturing of a Wife.”
  1. Dr. Holly and the MBA.

 

I look forward to your next visit
