FP Report -- July 1999
Responding to members: a reborn FP Report
If you wish FP Report would carry more news about family practice, government regulations and legislation, and what the AAFP is doing for you -- with more analysis and interpretation to help you understand what the news means for you and your practice -- you're not alone.
In a recent survey, Academy members rated FP Report high in regard to its credibility with them but expressed low interest in some kinds of coverage included in it. Simply put, members want FP Report to be more of a newspaper and less of an association "house organ."
How are we responding? We're refocusing FP Report to emphasize those three kinds of news members want-- news about family practice, government regulations and legislation, and what AAFP is doing for them -- and reducing coverage on topics of less interest. We'll include analysis and interpretation when appropriate; the special section on human genetics in this issue is a case in point. You'll notice more of this refocusing as FP Report evolves in the coming months. To top it off, the refocused FP Report will have a new look for the new century, beginning with the January 2000 issue.
We hope you'll like what you see and read in the coming months, and we'd like to hear from you. Please share your comments about FP Report by contacting Paula Binder, editor, via e-mail at pbinder@aafp.org, fax at (816) 822-8857 or phone at (800) 274-2237, Ext. 4230.
