NEW AND UPDATED MEMBER BENEFITS

COEP is excited to announce a new partnership for our members with a webbased forum called DocMatter. DocMatter is an online forum for high-quality clinical discussions among our members. We believe this partnership will provide a valuable, private platform to connect with other members about various clinical and administrative topics, including information pertaining to COVID-19 and the ongoing pandemic.

With so much changing information and limited ways for widespread collaboration, DocMatter will be able to assist in your ongoing preparation for COVID-19 cases, as well as on the effects of the virus on our emergency departments and hospitals.

DocMatter will be able to connect you to strategize not only with fellow ACOEP members, but with members of other critical care groups across the country and the world. In addition to access to the members-only ACOEP community, you will also have access to the COVID-19 Global DocMatter Community, which has over 45,000 members from 125+ countries and represents over 11,000 institutions

DocMatter provides personalized support and organizes discussions to decrease the time and effort it requires to collaborate and increase future clinical references.

We would like to note two important aspects of the ACOEP DocMatter Community: 1.

You will be paired with a DocMatter employee, called a Clinician Advocate, who will be your liaison to DocMatter. They will support your use of the platform, from technical questions to customizing your notifications, settings, and overall experience based on your specific clinical interests. Your Clinician Advocate is also available to transcribe your dictated notes to post to the Community on your behalf. 2. The Community is completely private, so you can freely have open discussions with

ACOEP members.

A DocMatter profile is free of charge for all members of ACOEP.

You should have already received an email with instructions for taking advantage of this valuable resource. If you have not received this email or if you have any questions, please email ACOEP’s Manager of Programs and Engagement, Kefah Spreitzer, at KSprietzer@acoep.org. –• –
