Re: IMP website news and invitation

[Guest guest]

Thanks Carla and Board. Wow. The site is amazing. I went on and like a klutz I accidentally favorited myself. eeeesh. I'll be more careful now. Anyone know the best way to get notified of forum posts, like on my tool bar? Klutz clicker that I am, God knows what will happen if I press too many wrong key strokes. I picture missile silos opening up in Nevada and NORAD scrambling ... (is there still such a thing as NORAD? I'm out of date.

Hi folksWould like to make you aware of the new Ideal Medical Practices website impcenter.org-Lots of work has gone into this for months and it is approaching( still some work to be done) the kind of website we think folks have asked for and will get alot out of

-We designed it to be a place strongly for members to collect and talk and share in a more fucnitonal way than the lsit serv, and as well to show off our work as a non profit and as well to be a place you can send say payors or reporters for information about our work.(YOUR work) A repository of all our tools will be there

-You can be a free member or join imp ,and use the site in different ways- Soon there will be a general forum like this list serv but more protected and private-There are right now groups for discussion on selected topics--and anyone who is a member can set up a group on a topic you want to talk about That is way cool!1 -- so AC users can talk and folks going to CAMp can talk and folks thinking about aggregation can talk and the lipid discussion could have a group set up to share what they know etc --- without plowing through many emails on other topics

-The imp calls are there to listen to with announcements about the dates and topics of future ones and the ability to comment o n the calls, You get CME when you come to OR listen to , the calls-The wiki and map are there

-You can, on the group discussions post documents and share info- say your forms

-Your can create a profile about yourslef and if IMP A wants to send a message internally through the site to IMP B who is doing the same work you can do that on the site -over 50 people are registered there already

-It is your site it is the pace to go to for community and information and sharing and CMEPlease use it - if you cannot register ask me or Carla Gibson would you? Carla has helped us put this site together and has spent long hrs much appreciated getting this site wonderfully functional

-Stil l to add will be some polishing to make pages more professional in layout, as we went for function first ,and soon to come will be our curriculum, more about HYH, links to the BOD and nonprofits financial work

Did you know that YOU can get a grant to support your work and IMP as the 501c3 could hold it for you-often individuals cannot get grants but a nonprofit can be the recipient and hold the money for you I did this to help me with a nurse care coordinator I would not have been able to recieve money not being a nonprofit but IMP can help with these services for tis members ( ask first)

Please become involved IMP can do some very good work if we are focused and organize Now we have a website that can help us

on behalf of Carla and the BoArd- who met on Tuesday and is a way cool bunch of people working very hard to make this organization go forward Come to CAMP and learn moreWhy would you miss CAMp-Lou Spikol will be there!!
