I just moved to Washington, DC so that I could be more centrally located where I was spending my time speaking. While I include my present work below, I offer an idea of what I can speak about to any group of practioners, administrators, stakeholders, and patients. I custom tailor my message of patient inclusion to any audience and specifically to each group's needs. As well as the topic of patient engagement, I can talk about Mental Health Parity with Physical Health, LGBTQQ issues of disparity and Health IT integration from silo to silo. I consider myself to be a generalist who creates a unique and specific message for each invitation.

As a speaker/panelist/consultant I have had the opportunity to discuss many of these issues with (for example) the PCPCC Stakeholders Meeting(Patient Centered Primary Care Collaborative - March 2011); the IHI through a 3 part webinar (which I helped design) in the spring of 2011; again the PCPCC as a featured speaker on their weekly phone conference call; the AF4Q National Meeting for their Consumer Pre-Meeting in November 2011; as well as the NCQA consulting on the new set of survey questions for 2012 for patient centeredness.

For reference and a bit of historical perspective, I offer the following: I served as a member of the Medicaid Advisory Council (the federally mandated oversight committee for Maine's Medicaid program) from 2002 through 2011. I also served as the first contracted patient ever to serve on a RFP writing committee (for the move to BH managed care) in the state of Maine. Presently, I serve as a patient representative on the Working Group for Maine's Patient Centered Medical Home Pilot Project (Funded by the RWJF/Quality Counts) and was recently named to serve on the Steering committee for the Medicare CHT Pilot which will coincide with the PCMH Pilot.

I also serve on the Patient and Family Leadership Team which is the Patient engagement arm of the Patient Centered Medical Home Pilot.

Additionally Presently:
• I serve as a Consumer Consultant for the Hanley Group BH HIT integration think tank.
• BH Integration Metric committee through QCME
• NCQA consultant for PCMH Pt. Engagement Survey (Aug '11)


I am a fierce patient advocate, known best for my constant reminders that if it is CALLED patient centered, there BETTER be a patient sitting at the table- every table – yes, that one too!
