 I want to thank all for their support
during my last two years with NJ-ACEP. I wish to compliment
Dr. Scott Mankowitz, my predecessor, for all his diligent
work. With the changing of the guard, I want to broadly
outline my direction for the chapter for the year.
Communication
I have found that there are a small number of physicians
engaged in the area of advocacy. I ask why? Is there a lack
of information? Is there a lack of understanding of the
impact laws may have on their practice. Are doctors just
apathetic? Perhaps, it is because you do not get paid for
your time? The political landscape is changing; being part
of that change is of paramount importance in my opinion. For
the last ten years I have worked with NJ-ACEP, I can provide
testament that the same 40 physicians are working closely in
our group, with a dozen of the same physicians involved year
after year. While it is laudable that these individuals keep
the organization viable and vibrant, it is also incumbent
upon us to reach out to all members and engage and represent
them. Some twelve years prior, we had a larger and broader
participation from the membership as a whole. It is still
unclear in retrospect why this change occurred; however, I
want to move back to this model. To this end, NJ-ACEP will
be reaching out to small and large groups alike who may not
have been represented at the table. When one of our board
members reaches out your departmental director, please
listen and share the message with your staff. Ideally, I
would request that your clinical site send a single
representative to our quarterly meetings, on a rotating
basis, to represent you and your clinical practice. We have
a small state. This can be accomplished as we meet regularly
and our distance is relatively small compared to other
states.

ACEP’s Annual
Leadership and Advocacy Conference |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Nearly 500 emergency physicians from
around the country gathered in Washington, D.C. for ACEP’s
annual Leadership and Advocacy Conference. Doctors met with
lawmakers on May 24 to discuss everything from liability
reform to the costs of emergency care and reforming the
Medicare physician payment formula. Some of our members were
given a video camera to document their experience on Capitol
Hill. Several chapters were given a video camera to
document their experience on Capitol Hill, including New
Jersey, Colorado, Arizona, Tennessee, Michigan, Texas,
California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Massachusetts
are featured. Our own Bill Felegi, DO and Michael Gerardi,
MD are featured.

ACEP has launched a
campaign
to educate policymakers, the news media and the public about
the value of emergency medicine and that emergency care
constitutes less than 2% of all health care spending. To
hear some talk about rising health care costs, you’d think
it was more like 50%! Because of the cost-cutting
environment in Washington and in state legislatures, this
campaign is designed to promote the high value of emergency
care. The campaign launched with a Health Writers’
Conference in New York, featuring ACEP members from Arizona,
Connecticut, New York, Texas, Oregon and Washington, DC,
highlighting different aspects of emergency care. In
addition, the results of a new poll of ACEP members was
released showing increased stress on emergency departments.
ACEP spokespersons in 10 top media markets are conducting
media interviews to promote the poll results and reinforce
the “Just 2%” messages. The campaign will continue with
print and radio ads through ACEP’s Leadership & Advocacy
Conference this month in Washington. |
