Re: [Oscarmcmaster-bc-users] OSCAR members list-PLEASE, PLEASE READ AND COMPLETE!

Lalya,

 

My first reaction would be: yes we want them on the mailing list but no
we don't want them applying for membership in the society.  It will make
keeping track of the OSCAR membership list much harder if we include
staff. Having said this, if an office staff member was particularly
interested in becoming a member, I would think they would be
welcome....just that we shouldn't go on a drive trying to get them to
register with OCUS.  However, this is just a quick opinion and I will
float your question to the board of directors and get back to you with
an "official answer".

 

It would be nice to have them on the user list (even if they aren't
registered OCUS members) so that if we send emails about meetings, MOA
events etc. they can be included. However, as you have pointed out, they
would not be solicited for dues/donations etc.

 

The online form does allow places to note your role (doctor, MOA<
midwife etc), which clinic you are affiliated with and your areas of
interest. We have all the names of the reach folks but are missing a lot
of the details -emails etc, plus not all the docs have applied for
membership if I remember correctly.  I could give you direct access to
the spread sheet if that would make completion easier for your big
clinic, but I think you docs have to specifically ask to be members to
make it legal!

Hi Colleen,

Thanks for attaching the list of Oscar Users.  All the physicians at
REACH have formally applied to become members.

 

I notice that quite a few (10) non-physician REACH staff members are on
that list. Many have attended user group meetings, and all use OSCAR to
various degrees in the office. Included on the list are our office
manager, billing clerk, 3 receptionist, pharmacist etc. Should they all
formally apply for membership?  Should we group office staff in some way
so they are tied to a specific group or clinic? How should we define
"USERS"?  Are other offices and clinics including office staff?

 

 I guess the answers to these questions depends on how this list is to
be used. If it is solely for the purpose of communication, then  those
who receive emails can simply delete those that do not pertain to them.
However, if we plan to use this list for soliciting OSCAR dues,
estimating incoming funds etc, then including other staff members would
inflate the numbers inaccurately. I am interested in hearing if other
clinics are applying for memberships for office staff.

 

Thanks,

Lalya (REACH)

	We have been actively working to build a list of OSCAR users (71
people on the list) and members of the OSCARcanada user's society (61
people listed). About 30 of you aren't on either list yet and 20 of you
put your names down early on the users list before we knew that you had
to "officially" request to be a member of OCUS!  If those of you who
aren't on the list could add your information, it will save Patti and me
hours of work trying to track everyone down and build a mailing list.
Don't worry about putting yourself down twice by accident -it is a lot
easier to delete a duplicate entry than it is to find all your contact
info.  I've attached a list of those of you who have registered already
in case that helps. (although a number of people on this list won't have
officially requested membership to OCUS yet, so could still fill out the
form below!)

	 

	Here's how to sign on:

	you can fill it out online:

	As discussed at the OSCAR user group meeting (April 08), we are
creating a directory of OSCAR users to help facilitate users contacting
each other and sharing expertise etc. This list will also help the OSCAR
user group organizers contact you about upcoming events. This
information will not be made public and will be shared only with other
OSCAR users. We would appreciate it if each team member (doctor,
midwife, MOA, manager etc) at each OSCAR office could be listed
individually. You may also add your name if you are an "OSCAR observer"
and are not currently (yet!) using OSCAR-please note this under "area of
interest". We are planning a mail out to all OSCAR users in BC in 2009
and would very much appreciate it if each user could add their
information.  We also need you to specifically request membership to the
OSCARcanada Users Society. Thanks for your attention to this. Colleen
and Patti
