Good afternoon All

I was wondering if anyone has an active Ambulatory Practice Council or Committee at your facility?  Or know of any facility that may have started one or looking into starting one? Or a subcommittee of a Practice Council that focus just on ambulatory needs?

Here we have a very active engaged Practice Council but the focus and majority of the time is inpatient/specialty clinic which is understandable.  While the topics discussed at times are pertinent Ambulatory, an entire council dedicated to pushing an Ambulatory Agenda would be very beneficial.

I looked in the old posts and libraries but did not see anything related to this.

Thanks
