Message from the Inter Organizational Practice Committee (IOPC)


Dear Colleagues,

 The InterOrganizational Practice Committee is delighted to  announce the launch of the Neuropsychology and Healthcare Reform Web 

Toolkit 
http://www.neuropsychologytoolkit.com. 

The above website is the result of IOPC member organizations, the  American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology, the National Academy of  Neuropsychology, Division 40 of the American Psychological Association, and the American Board of Professional Neuropsychology's commitment to act proactively, and in unison, on an issue that will dramatically affect the practice of  neuropsychology in the years to come: healthcare reform. 

As healthcare reform rolls out through regions of the country, this website will be a central place for members of our profession to learn about basic concepts, share innovative practice models, and begin to  answer the fundamental question: how do we emerge as successful players in this iteration of healthcare?

The site includes interviews with neuropsychologists who are  early and successful adopters with innovative practice  models.  In  our report writing section, Ted Peck, Mark Barisa, Karen Wills and Mark Mahone have shared brief, high impact report templates.  We have asked a  writing coach from NASA to share brief, effective communication techniques. Our  state advocacy section posts websites and activities of state and regional  neuropsychology societies and state psychological associations. It also includes  advocacy strategies and tips for associations that would like to launch, or  strengthen their health care reform advocacy committees.

Many thanks to the members of our content committee, Mary  Coakley-Welch, Nancy Hoffman, Mark Barisa, Teresa Deer, Antonio Puente,
Donna  Raisin Waters, and Geoffrey Kanter, the IOPC member organizations, and the IOPC  member organization delegates:  Tim Wynkoop, Tresa Roebuck Spencer, and Beth  Caillouet from the National Academy of Neuropsychology, Mike Westerveld from  Division 40 of the American Psychological Association, and Randi Most from the  American Board of Professional Neuropsychology for their enthusiastic support of  this project.

 ABOUT THE  IOPC:

The  Inter Organizational Practice Committee (IOPC) is a committee of the practice  chairs of the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology, the National Academy  of Neuropsychology, Division 40 of the American Psychological Association, and  the American Board of Professional Neuropsychology, tasked with coordinating advocacy efforts and improving the practice climate for Neuropsychology.  Some of the specific advantages  of the IOPC include increasing the breadth and reach of grass roots advocacy for  issues that have local and national implications.  Each organization also has  overlapping, but not completely redundant interests and organizational  structures that shape their stance on, and approach to, important issues. Thus,  the multi-organizational structure also  allows for synergy in advocacy efforts  on topics of mutual concern, while retaining the individual organizations  autonomy in determining the direction of their own organizational priorities.   While the IOPC has, and will continue to respond to new issues as they arise  through response advocacy, another important role is to help  neuropsychologists be more proactive with respect to anticipated changes in  legislation and insurance practices that have a direct impact on the  profession.
