The meeting was called to order by Byron Hoffman, MD, Governor. The minutes of the October 24, 2014 meeting were presented and approved. The following 2014-2015 year-to-date financial report was presented and approved.
Balance Sheet/Current Assets: Checking Account I $ 45.67 Checking Account II $ 29,658.65 Promotional Rate Account $ 46,189.28 Morgan Stanley Smith Barney $ 285,983.81 Total Assets $ 361,877.41
Statement of Activity: Income $ 85,397.83 Expenses $ 70,595.90 Net Income $ 14,801.93
The deficit in net income for the past fiscal year was discussed. Factors noted included $45,000 in grants to residency programs, support for UNC’s event in honor of James Bryan, II, MD, and subsidization of the Annual Meeting. The outlook for the current fiscal year was discussed. It was noted that it is likely that the year will finish with a negative net income again but that a projection was pending due to the annual meeting variables.
Agenda Item II
There was a discussion of the chapter’s investment plan. It was noted that the funds in the plan were presently in cash and that the account balance had grown from $250,000 to $285,000 since its inception in 2012. It was determined that the chapter should re-enter the investment market with the guidance of the Quantitative Group. There was a discussion of the Investment Committee and interest to participate was invited from among the Council members. The following volunteered to join Dr. Hoffman and Michael Towarnicky, MD on the committee: Michael Norins, MD; Lawrence Klima, MD; and Johnathan Williams, MD. The following membership report was presented.
Masters 15 Fellows 680 Members 1,660 Resident/Fellows 509 Medical Students 428 Affiliates 8 Total 3,300
An effort to pursue past-due members to help member retention was discussed. Council members were encouraged to reach out to past due members to encourage them to remain current. The chapter’s dues amount ($50) was discussed. The consensus was to continue to charge $50. A legislative update was presented by Chip Baggett from the NC Medical Society. He reported that Medicaid reform was the primary issue that the 2015 General Assembly will address and noted that Medicaid expansion is not likely to be considered in 2015. He also mentioned that legislation had been introduced to help stabilize the state’s Health Information Exchange and that a bill to allow for independent practice for advanced practices nurses is anticipated. An update on the NC Medical Society’s “Toward Accountable Care” initiative was presented by Steve Keene. Noting that the NC,ACP is a member of the TAC Consortium, he reported that an internal medicine accountable care toolkit was being finalized. He added that the biggest challenge and opportunity for medicine in shifting to a value-based care system is that quality guidelines can be established by physicians. The issue of physician burnout was discussed, noting that this is a growing area of interest and concern. A report on the Medicaid Physicians Advisory Group was provided by Peter Lichstein, MD. Mentioned as recent issues addressed by Medicaid were: Hepatitis C, Preferred Drug List, Genetic Testing, Mental Health, and Dental Care. Dr. Lichstein presented an update on the chapter-funded resident projects. He reported that the chapter had supported six projects in 2013 and 16 in 2014 and a summary of each year’s projects was distributed. There was a discussion of the future of the funding program. It was suggested that a committee be appointed to evaluate the program and to determine any refinements to implement. Volunteering for the committee were: Dawn Brezina, MD; Peter Lichstein, MD; Richard Wardrop, MD; Duncan Vincent, MD; and Karen Feiereisel, MD. It was further determined that the next round of project grants would be put on hold until the group could evaluate the program and bring recommendations back to the Council.
Duncan Vincent, MD, resident representative on the Council, provided an update on efforts to establish a Residents/Medical Student Council. He reported that representatives from each institution and medical school had been identified. He also noted that there would be a meeting of residents and medical students on Saturday, February 14, in conjunction with the NC,ACP’s annual meeting to discuss increased resident and student involvement. Richard Wardrop, MD reported that he had been appointed to the ACP’s Council on Early Career Physicians and noted that “early career physicians” are defined as those within the first 16 years following medical school. H indicated that he would provide further information as his term on the CECP got underway. Dr. Wardrop also reported on UNC’s experience with the implementation of the High Value Care curriculum. Matthew Blackwell, MD also noted that Carolinas Medical Center had been involved in the initiative and Charin Hanlon, MD similarly noted SEAHEC’s experience. Dr. Hoffman updated the Council on recent ACP activities. He noted the recent letter to ACP members from the American Board of Internal Medicine regarding Maintenance of Certification. He reported that the ABIM would be modifying the MOC process. Dr. Hoffman also noted that the ACP’s 2015 Leadership Day is scheduled for May 21-22 in Washington and encouraged participation in the event. Dawn Brezina, MD provided an overview of the 2015 NC,ACP annual meeting. The 2016 meeting was announced for February 26-27 at the Grandover in Greensboro, NC. The slate of Council nominees for 2015-2016 was discussed. The slate was confirmed as:

Call to Order The meeting was called to order by Peter Lichstein, MD, Governor. After a roll call of participants and welcome by Dr. Lichstein, discussion turned to strategic planning. Strategic Plan The Council discussed options for holding a strategic planning meeting this year with the goal of developing a four-year plan of priorities for the Chapter. It was clarified that this strategic planning session is not intended to be an annual event. After considering the options of holding the meeting in conjunction with the NCMS Annual Meeting or having it at a separate time, the Council decided to schedule the retreat on the afternoon and evening of October 22, 2015, in conjunction with the 2015 NCMS Annual Meeting at the Grandover Resort in Greensboro. Dr. Lichstein called for a small group of volunteers to help with the planning. Including a conference phone for the participation of those who could not attend was suggested. The regular Fall Council meeting was confirmed for Friday, October 23, from 7:30am-10:30am at the Grandover. It was noted that the NCMS Annual Meeting agenda will include an educational session on Physician Resilience that morning at 10:30am, followed by a session on Physician Wellness at 1:00pm. A discussion about how to set the agenda for the strategic planning session ensued. It was suggested that having a facilitator could be beneficial and staff was charged with inquiring with ACP and the NCMS Foundation on some possible options. All agreed that further input from the Council leading up to the session would be desirable. Membership Survey Following discussion of the strategic planning retreat, the discussion turned to the membership survey. It was noted that responses to the membership survey will be helpful in guiding the priorities of the strategic planning retreat. It was also noted that 5% of the membership participated in the last membership survey in 2011. To encourage participation, it was suggested that all respondents should be eligible to win a prize such as an iPad and that the survey should be sent through both the ACP portal and the NCMS system. Edits to the survey suggested:
1. “Only do it once” language to be added since some recipients may receive the survey multiple times. 2. “Provide your name to be entered into the drawing” language to be added. 3. Replace “MOC” with “Maintenance of Certification (MOC)” throughout. 4. Use the ACP definition of “Early Career Physician,” which is the first 16 years of practice: 0-5, 6-10, 11-
16, 17+. 5. Add ECP event interest question, “If you are an ECP, would you be interested in ECP activities/events,
such as…” (Dr. Wardrop to provide)
Agenda Item II
Early Career Physicians Update As a member on the ACP’s Council of Early Career Physicians, Dr. Richard Wardrop reported that he is working with a group of 11 colleagues who are charged with representing the interest of ECPs on a national level and advocating for them throughout the College. He added that the ECP Council liaises with residents with the goal of retaining their membership through the transition to active practice, works to promote ECPs into Fellowship, and works to identify and offer the products and services that are of particular interest to ECPs. Education Committee Dr. Lichstein announced that Dr. Matt Blackwell has accepted the position of Education Committee Chair. Legislative Activities It was suggested that the Council discuss ways to identify and engage advocacy-minded members during the upcoming strategic planning session. Dr. Michael Norins reported that he will be meeting with legislators in Raleigh on July 22 to discuss Medicaid reform and patient care issues, and encouraged others to join him on that day. The Council was informed that the final two weeks of July will be a critical period for Medicaid reform in the North Carolina General Assembly since this is when the state budget will likely be in conference committee. Council members were encouraged to commit a morning (up to the lunch hour) on any of the following dates in July for meetings with legislators in Raleigh: Tuesday, July 21, Wednesday, July 22, Thursday, July 23, Tuesday, July 28, Wednesday, July 29, or Thursday, July 30. Council members were encouraged to sign up by emailing Denna Suko at [email protected]. Dr. Lichstein reported that the Chapter sent letters to key leaders in the Legislature regarding Medicaid expansion and support for adequate funding of the Brody School of Medicine at ECU. Investment Plan It was noted that a formal, robust finance committee is necessary. Dr. Scott Furney expressed interest. Other Business The Council discussed the nomination of and support of Dr. Jim Bryan for the 2015 T. Reginald Harris Memorial Award which is presented annually by The Carolinas Center for Medical Excellence at the NC Medical Society’s Annual Meeting. All members of the Council were encouraged to send nominations letters to Alan Skipper by email to [email protected] no later than Friday, June 26,2 015. A motion was made and passed as follows: The NC,ACP Council gives its full support for recommending James A. Bryan II, MD for the 2015 Harris Award. The motion carried unanimously.

Agenda Item XIII-B
2015 LEGISLATION
SB 695 / HB 807– MODERNIZE NURSING PRACTICE ACT
OPPOSE: This legislation proposes to not only eliminate the requirement of physician supervision of advanced practice registered nurses but also eliminates the additional patient protection provided by the Joint Subcommittee of the Nursing and Medical Boards. Status – SB 695 referred to Senate Health Committee. HB 807 referred to House Committee on Health. This legislation remains eligible for debate following the 2015 crossover deadline.
SB 118 / HB 913 – NATUROPATHIC DOCTORS LICENSING ACT
OPPOSE: This legislation would create a new category of physician in North Carolina: Naturopathic Doctor (ND). Unlike other physicians, naturopathic doctors would be licensed by their own board rather than the NC Medical Board. These doctors would have the authority to order tests and manage chronic disease as primary care providers, including the management of chronic disease as well as the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The bill does not place any limitations on Naturopathic treatment (pediatrics, psychiatric care, etc.). Status – SB 118 referred to the Senate Committee on Healthcare, HB 913 referred to the House Health Committee. This legislation remains eligible for debate following the 2015 crossover deadline.
HB 135 / SB 190 – MODERNIZE PHYSICAL THERAPY PRACTICE
Under current law, any physical therapy treatment plan that involves manipulation of the spine must be prescribed by a physician. This bill proposes to eliminate that requirement. Status – HB 135 was passed by the House of Representatives before the 2015 Crossover deadline. It was then referred to the Senate Committee on Rules. SB 190 has been referred to the Senate Committee on Rules. This legislation remains eligible for debate following the 2015 crossover deadline.
SB 543 – HOMEBIRTH FREEDOM ACT
OPPOSE: By creating a council of Certified Professional Midwives, this bill would allow midwives with no formal education or medical training to deliver babies in North Carolina without physician supervision. Currently, all midwives in North Carolina must have a nursing degree and work under the supervision of a physician. This bill lowers safety standards where they are needed most – during planned home births. Recognizing that serious complications can arise during childbirth, it is important
to maintain high standards for maternity care to protect patient safety. Status – referred to the Senate
Committee on Rules. This legislation remains eligible for debate following the 2015 crossover deadline.
HB 714 – BEHAVIOR ANALYST LICENSURE
Creates the NC Bahavior Analyst Board and defines the practice of behavior analysis to include “the empirical identification of functional relations between behavior and environmental factors, known as functional assessment and analysis. Behavior analysis interventions are based on scientific research and the direct observation and measurement of behavior and the environment. In the practice of behavior analysis, behavior analysts utilize contextual factors, motivating operations, antecedent stimuli, positive reinforcement, and other consequences to help people develop new behaviors, increase or decrease existing behaviors, and emit behaviors under specific environmental conditions. The practice of behavior analysis expressly excludes psychological testing, cognitive therapy, sex therapy, psychoanalysis, hypnotherapy, and long-term counseling as treatment modalities.” Status – referred to the House Committee on Health. This legislation remains eligible for debate following the 2015 crossover deadline.
HB 158/SB 125 – JIM FULGHUM TEEN SKIN CANCER PREVENTION ACT
SUPPORT – This legislation would prohibit those under the age of 18 from using tanning beds. Current law is 13 years of age. Status – HB 158 was passed by both chambers, becoming law (S.L. 2015-21).
BILLS NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR DEBATE DUE TO CROSSOVER DEADLINE:
SB 240 – DEFINE SCOPE OF PRACTICE OF CRNAS
OPPOSE: This bill proposes to exempt nurse anesthesia from the legal definition of the practice of medicine in North Carolina. In practice this bill would eliminate physician supervision of nurses when providing anesthesia services. Status – referred to the Senate Committee on Rules. This bill failed to meet the crossover deadline and is not eligible for continued debate.
SB 542 – DECRIMINALIZE DIRECT ENTRY MIDWIFERY
OPPOSE: Not only would this legislation allow midwives with no formal education and little training to deliver babies in North Carolina homes without any rules or regulations – but it would also place all standards for practice under the purview of an out of state, unregulated entity. This legislation poses great risk to both expectant mothers and their children yet to be born. Status – referred to the Senate Committee on Rules. This bill failed to meet the crossover deadline and is not eligible for continued debate.
