    • Cathy Hernandez will be posting the agenda to the CF Patient Facebook Page, Stanford webpage, and Stanford CF Center Facebook page.

    • Meg and Jennifer are super busy because we lost Susan last week and will lose Camille at the end of October. We will ask for their help after the clinic has more support.

    • Everyone should post on their personal FB pages to raise awareness of our council.

    • The e-mail blast that goes out has a clearer name: CF Adult Advisory Council

    • Colleen put information and application forms about the council in the waiting room at clinic

      • There is a clear holder with application sheets and magnets at the cabinet with the business cards.

      • No one saw it.

      • Cannot put it in rooms, can't put it at the registration desk, we don't want to bug the people at the registration desk too much, so maybe we'll try putting information on myhealth when that is available.

    • Council members that know anyone with CF that wants to join direct them to Colleen

    • Jay and everyone else will look at the Council website and think of ways to revamp it

      • Maybe a History Page to note past leaders like Lori and Kriss

      • An achievements section to show what we've been able to accomplish

      • Monica will help improve the quality of Facebook pages for different groups and increase advertising for ACFAC and the webpage

    • Virtual Meeting Proposal/Online Collaboration

      • CFF – Coordination with CFF and external clinic development – Brian E., Shawn

        • someone from dartmouth is in contact with Brian. Brian didn't have time, so Shawn volunteered. Brian will stay involved to help with overall vision.

      • MyHealth project status – updates per participants

        • Victoria talked to the MyHealth team.

          • The website looked better. They will have ability to upload questionnaires in future. Looks like they took people's suggestions to heart.

          • they wanted to know if it was easy to navigate, how it was compared to what you expected. MyHealth has added graphs, but Victoria wants to be able to see if you can do graphs with two data sets in the graph to improve the ability of patients to compare scores.

      • Facebook meeting volunteers – Monica was absent, so we will discuss this next time.

  • Patient Questionnaire Form

    • Jay talked to Elika:

      • she suggested going from free-form format to one with choices (tempurature, fever, etc.)

      • break down "diagnoses" question to two parts. One about symptoms, and then another one about diagnoses that you can save and add to.
