What new credentialing laws would you make?

Dear readers,

Has all the hype surrounding the new president got you thinking about what changes you would make if you were a member of the new administration? The post “How Should Obama Reform Health Care?,” on The New York Times’ Well blog definitely got me thinking about it. It also got me thinking about all the conversations I’ve had with MSPs that started out with the phrase “I wish….” I’ve heard wishes for bigger budgets, a national credentialing application, empathetic practitioners, and more hours in the day. Just think, if you were tapped to be a member of the new administration, some of those wishes could become reality.

So what changes will the new administration make? Well, jumping back into the blogosphere, one place to keep an eye out for change is the Secretary of Health and Human Services’ blog (yep, even he’s got a blog). In the Bush administration, Secretary Mike Leavitt fulfilled that blogging role. If you check out his blog today, you’ll notice that all posts reside in the archives. The new secretary, Tom Daschle, hasn’t taken to his keyboard yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he picked up where Leavitt left off.

What do you want to see Daschle blogging about? More importantly, if you had a place in the new administration and were able to draft new credentialing laws, what would those laws be? You can leave your feedback on our blog. Blog posts can be read by anyone, even lawmakers looking for new ideas.

Best,
