Ted presented idea of a working group cluster meeting periodically. Some discussion was had but we did not have enough time to give it adequate attention.

table for when we are at our full capacity in may?

7) Liz brought up concern regarding MA's being sent out of cluster.

I discussed with Cindy. She is only doing that when there are cross training issues (ie out of cluster MA"s wanting to work in North to do more peds, or needing our MA's to cross train at core etc. She assures us that she is not doing it randomly and when no other clinic demands, she tries to keep the clusters whole.

9) rooms
