Hi Meredith. Could you add me as a subscriber to this list? I would like to read the most recent version of the chapter text and the NYC case study. Thanks.

Hi Meredith. The two top documents listed above only contain a one-page listing of when new versions were posted or edited. How do I access the actual chapter document content? Thanks, Michael

Hi Michael,
I added you to all three documents in the folder. The NYC case study hasn't been integrated into the chapter because of on going edits. Do you have the access you need now?

Hi Meredith. Thank you for granting me access to the Basecamp files. For some reason, when I log on and open the latest document all I get is the following outline of updates.
Syndromic Chapter Update
11/16 – Chapter and Case Study 1 Posted
11/16 – Working on OR appendix materials (case definitions, data tables, reports, evaluations, etc.)
11/16 – Follow up with Katie Lane of NYC on Case Study 2
12/1 – Case Study 2 posted
12/2 – Waiting for next call to finalize figures or appendix materials for the case studies
12/12 – Case study 2 update
3/13/18 – Case study 2 update
I am not able to open the actual text of any of the drafts. Do you know what I am doing wrong? I am confounded.
It seems that the current versions that are posted are the same ones that I commented on a while back. Are you expecting to update these versions before they are submitted for agency clearances?
How is being in Texas? Is the work interesting &/or challenging? Have a great weekend.

Hi Meredith. I do now have access to the version of the case study that you uploaded earlier this week. I will go through it and get back to you.
thanks, Michael

Sorry this chapter fell of my radar. Once you review the NYC section, I'll compile the chapter, post it (hopefully more successfully) on Basecamp, and sent it back the authors for clearance. However, I can't be the contact person for further edits. My current position is limiting my participation in CSTE activities, and I am actively pursuing other job opportunities, likely outside of state public health. The program I've landed in is incredibly convoluted and poorly managed, which is a big disappointment. Would you be the best point person for keeping track of agency approvals? I don't want to hold this project up more than I already may have.
Thanks for understanding.

Hi Meredith. I am sorry to learn that your job is not as good a fit as you might have hoped for. It certainly makes sense that you start looking for other options. Our work life is too short and too important to waste in institutions that are not well organized or managed. It has always been important for me to do work I feel is meaningful and making a contribution and is in a collaborative and supportive environment. Otherwise, I am outta there. So I am in full support of you.
As to the lead role, I guess I will need to help make that happen. Otherwise, it may not. And we are too far along to give up on it now.
Best of luck to you. Please keep me informed about yourself and your work. I am interested and care about you.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Meredith. Since this chapter was originally developed by you and Laurel Boyd while you were working in Oregon, do you want me to connect with Melissa Powell to see if the Oregon Health Authority will need to review and approve the document? I can easily do that.
The New York authors have already stated that they will need to run the case study through their internal review process for approval.

Hi Michael,
I know OHA will need to review the chapter. I am assuming that they'd like to see the entire chapter (intro, OR case study, NYC case study), but obviously edits to the NYC would be mostly perfunctory (unless they have questions about clarity or grammar edits). I can compile the entire chapter. Do you want to look over what Kaz just sent as he responded to your comments first?

Hi Meredith. Yes, I would like to look over the latest changes to the entire chapter. I can then share it with Laurel and Melissa and ask them to route it for internal review and approval.
Thanks for your tremendous work on this. I appreciate it.
