1. Warm Up: Liliane may have sold her house! (which is why she is calling in from her car)
2. Liliane’s HCT Article and HCT Poster for the Health Equity Summit and a draft article on our healthcare transition project. The target journal is the Journal of General Internal Medicine.
a. Liliane is not too happy with the introduction so some advice on cleaning up the message here would be helpful. But the main issue is to cut it from 5800 words down to 4000.
i. Using a bird's eye view, what appears redundant or unhelpful in supporting the message around the gaps in research to address healthcare transition here in Vermont?
b. Poster:
i. A lot of text conveying many themes and subthemes; what’s most critical for your message
ii. List the 8 themes; pick one
1. Identify the actionable lessons
iii. Suggest removing the pie chart, unless needed for the audience
iv. Emphasize the message: supporting the transition is bigger than just thinking about transition. It requires training, accessibility, HC system supports… (the themes)
v. Define accessibility to include communication; consider “sensory accessibility”
vi. How does each element support HCT
vii. Use acronyms to maximize efficiency
viii. Standardize formatting; choose one or two quotes
c. Paper
i. Make the 8th theme the conclusion – reorganize
ii. [More that the recorder missed due to a conflict!]
3. Schedule for rest of the month:
a. TBD
