ACFAC Meeting Minutes – November 21st, 2012         

 

Members Present: Lauren, Elyse, Ed, Jay, Ann, Bryan, Jackie

 

Members Absent: Laura, Colleen, Richard

 

Guests Present:  Rosie

 

1. October minutes approved.
2. The council discussed research completed thus far for the members individual areas.  Those members that were researching transportation (Laura, Bryan) included Lions/Kiwanis clubs, Angel Flight, Ride-Share programs, public transportation and the National Patient Transportation Center.  Some of the members split the category up into those needing "medical" assistance for transportation, and those who need a means of transportation.
3. Ann and Elyse, who were researching fundraising opportunities, presented a letter writing campaign.  Discussed were the letter itself and the logistics necessary to create a fund, who to send donations to, methods to send donations, etc.  This information is to be clarified with Eric and Colleen.  The goal is to raise $5,000 and the fund is to support transportation for clinic appointments including necessary additions such as lodging that may be required for long-distance travel. 
4. Jackie researched work-related difficulties.  Most of the resources available are for those who need to take extended absences, over a week or more, but there is a section of the FMLA law that allows for intermittent absences for the management of chronic medical conditions.  Given the guidelines, it appears as though CF would qualify.  While FMLA does not provide financial compensation, it does provide job protection.  There is also a resource book found on the cff.org website geared towards clinicians to help patients with legal rights issues.
5. The training session for Peer2Peer Program was launched.  There were 3 mentors from the CF group and 5 mentors from the Heart Transplant group.  Some people did attend via WebEx.
6. Next Meeting set for Wednesday, December 19^th from 5pm to 7pm.

 

Action Items

 

1. All: If you have not already, please email you're the information you have found in your research regarding your specific area to Laura, as she will compile the information into one document.

10-17-12 ACFAC Meeting Minutes

ACFAC Meeting Minutes – October 17^th, 2012              

 

Members Present: Laura, Lauren, Colleen, Richard, Elyse, Ann, Bryan, Jackie

 

Guests Present:  Eric, Kathy

 

1. September minutes approved.
2. The council held continued discussion regarding council goals and current project, how to support the clinic in meeting the CFF recommendation for at least 4 clinic visits per year.  Laura spoke with Kathy and Dr. Mohabir to narrow the scope of the project.  The following information was derived from her meeting:  The clinic has about 200 adults and approximately 20-25 do not show regularly for appointments.  The geographic areas of most concern are the Sacramento/Redding area and the Monterey/Salinas area.  As described by the clinic, the largest barriers seem to be lack of child care, lack of transportation (financial and mode), work related, and psychosocial. Currently, the CF social worker is able to offer and provide resources, but this is mostly limited to Santa Clara County.
3. After discussion, the council divided up the barriers and geographical areas to further research for more potential resources.  The goal is to provide a working list of resources for the outlying areas that can be readily accessed by the CF social worker to provide information to those who are identified as having barriers.  Fundraising was also identified as a potential resource, and this topic was also added to the list of research items.  Please see Action Items for the breakdown and the members researching each area.  At the November meeting, members will discuss what has been researched thus far.
4. In trying to improve the clinic experience, the clinic has the capacity to see 15 patients per day, and on days when there are over 10 patients, a second RT has been added.
5. The Peer2Peer program is finalizing the method of training for mentors and still looking for more mentors.  Please contact Lauren if interested. 
6. Next meeting set for November 21^st from 5:00pm to 7:00 pm.  While several members will be unavailable as November 22^nd is Thanksgiving, it was determined that there should be enough members for a quorum.  If you are unable to attend the November meeting, please let Laura/Lauren know so they can ensure your research topic information is shared at the next meeting. 

 

Action Items

1. Laura/Elyse: To discuss Facebook
2. Laura: To determine if November meeting could be held on the 14^th instead of the 21^st.  OF NOTE: The room is not available, so the meeting will NOT be changed, it will remain on Nov. 21^st as scheduled.
3. Council Research Topics:

• Ann/Elyse: Fundraising
• Laura: Means of Transportation for Sacramento/Redding areas
• Richard: Means of Transportation for Monterey area
• Bryan: Means of Transportation for Salinas area
• Jackie: Work-Related/Resource Information

ACFAC Meeting Minutes – July 18^th, 2012                     

 

Members Present: Laura, Lauren, Colleen, Ed, Kriss, Elyse, Ann, Jackie

 

Members Absent: Eric M., Jay

 

Guests Present: Zoe, Eric W.

 

1. June minutes approved.
2. Information provided regarding the content of the mandatory hospital orientation for volunteers.  Lauren was able to attend the June orientation, and reported that the orientation was helpful in understanding how the ACFAC fits into the hospital and its goals.  It provided information relevant and practical to the patient advisory councils.
3. The next volunteer orientation will be held in the Blake Wilbur conference room, the room in which the ACFAC meetings are held.  Since the orientation is 4 hours long, it will be split up into 2 sessions, the first being Wed August 15^th from 5-7p and the second being August 29^th from 5-7p.
4. It was brought up that current new patients to the Adult CF clinic receive a new patient folder, and in that folder is an old and outdated brochure about the ACFAC.  Currently, there is no contact information.  The council discussed and agreed upon replacing the brochure with the ACFAC flyer and business card. It was also agreed upon by the council to request that the clinic remove the brochure from any other areas it is being used, as it is outdated.
5. Lauren provided an update regarding the Peer2Peer mentoring program.  The launch date is slated for September 1^st , 2012 and it will commence with the training of the mentors.  By this date, the goal is to have the specifics known such as WebEx capabilities, time commitment, mentor responsibilities and these will be discussed with the prospective mentors in the training sessions.  Also discussed is that while Meg will be the person matching mentors/mentees, that the supervising social worker for the program will not be affiliated with the CF center.
6. Elyse has been in contact with Cathy H. to continue to provide updates regarding the ACFAC via the CF Center at Stanford's Facebook page.  The goal will be to start using Facebook to increase awareness of the council and it's programs, such as the Perr2Peer Program, meetings, accomplishments, etc. 
7. Kriss was able to discuss with CFRI the possibility of either having a table, or using the CFRI table to increase awareness of the ACFAC.  It was voted on by the council to use the CFRI table instead of our own table.  The council will provide flyers and business cards for "take-aways."  ACFAC members attending the council will also have "Ask Me" buttons
8. It was discussed for future events, to hold a small drawing or raffle, or ask participants of these events to provide the council with contact information, such as email or phone number to improve outreach and awareness of the ACFAC in the CF community, especially those that are patients or family members of patients at Stanford.
9. Discussion also held regarding ideas for further goals and projects for the council.  Ideas included: Sponsoring events (forums, talks) or items at clinic (such as the cups for coffee / water, pen/pad of paper to ask questions) to increase the awareness of the ACFAC.  The council discussed the list that had been compiled when the council was formed and determined that many of the "goals" had been accomplished.  Discussion of council goals and projects to continue at the September meeting.
10.

7-18-2012 Agenda

Please print your own copy of the agenda and review the "attachments" to assist in cross infection control! 

Anyone calling in needs to do so AHEAD of time. We've asked that call-in or WebEx members get set up 10 minutes before the scheduled meeting time. 

Advisory Council visitors are welcome; however, attendees must respect the CF Center at Stanford cross infection guidelines. Please do not attend in person if you have an active viral infection or any other contagious condition. If you have CF, keep three feet between yourself and others who have CF. Avoid shaking hands with others. Additionally, individuals with CF who have ever had a confirmed positive sputum culture for Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia) or who have cultured Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) within the past two years, or who are currently culturing a bacterium resistant to all antibiotics (pan resistant) may not attend our sessions in person due to the cross-infection risks to others with CF.

Please see the "To attend this meeting via WebEx" section at the bottom of this agenda if you wish to attend this month's meeting via WebEx.
