RE: Task force design for medical assistance programme.

We are very pleased with the opportunity to assemble a task force to design a medication assistance programme. Our proposal provides the most comprehensive approach to execute it successfully with invitations to:

1. Case managers, physicians and registered nurses: they make referrals to unit social workers.
2. Social workers assesses and refer to MAP social worker.
3. MAP helps develop an individualized plan for short term and long term treatment needs.
4. Post discharge executive ( assist. Doc.) to follow up to monitor success with discharge plan.

Kindly review the above invitation list and let's schedule meeting to discuss it in detail.

Sincerely,

Case manager should be the group facilitator ie physician or a registers nurse because peer facilitators plan an important role in determining the success of many support groups for patients with illness.
