United IMPs of America!

[Guest guest]

Great weekend at IMP Camp. Very motivating ... makes me feel very

hypomanic!At one small group, as folks were reporting their various

struggles (insurance headaches, dead zones, etc) it was glaring how the IMP concept

is working through various kinks and transitioning. As many of you

may already realize, I do like metaphors. And, in the same way, I hate to

waste a good cliche. So, with apologies to any real historians, I thought of

how we are all now like the USA was in the mid-late 1780's. The States had

declared independence and won a war, but the details on how a government should work

were being discussed. I guess we can call this email list our own version of

the Federalist Papers! (ok, now THAT is a stretch, but, like I said I like

metaphors).Anyhow, with apologies to Mr Madison, I'd like to share

this preamble to a constitution -- We the doctors,

in order to form a more perfect health care system,establish patient-centered

collaberative care,provide primary medical services,promote the general

wellness of our patients,and secure the blessings of financial security to

ourselves and our posterity,do ordain and establish these Ideal Medical

Practices ....... now, the hard part ... YOU go and make your office a

beacon of hope for patients and physicians alike. Each of our practices can be

the articles of the constitution making up the whole of our great

" document, " this IMP movement.Thanks to everyone --

organizers, mentors, participants -- for a great IMP Camp. I hope you all

enjoyed your time in Rochester and have gained knowledge and motivation that will

help your medical practices thrive and allow you to live the fulfilling lives you

dream of.Tim---------------------------------------- Malia, MDMalia
