Many anesthesiologists participate in medical outreach efforts to underserved regions around the world. The tragic earthquake in Haiti is a disaster of unimaginable scope. There will be opportunities for us to offer humanitarian assistance as the citizens of Haiti begin the difficult challenges of rebuilding their country. The medical infrastructure in Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas has been severely damaged, and experts anticipate that Haiti will need outside help in delivering medical and surgical services for the foreseeable future.
A number of humanitarian organizations have taken the lead in coordinating these efforts. The American Society of Anesthesiologists has published a web page to help those of us who want to help to do so in the most effective way possible. If you do participate, please share your story with us. Our thoughts and prayers are with the survivors of this tragedy.

 The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently updated the interpretive guidelines for hospital participation in the Medicare program. Several changes impact the delivery of anesthesia services within the hospital and will probably impact the practice of most anesthesiologists. The important revisions involve timing of a preoperative assessment, post-operative note, and a redefinition of labor neuraxial blocks as analgesia services, eliminating physician supervision requirements for nurse anesthetists and anesthesia assistants. ASA is currently reviewing these revisions and will provide additional information when available.
For additional information, please see this ASA posting.

 The Oregon Medical Board has instituted a new administrative rule related to continuing medical education requirements and demonstration of ongoing competency as a prerequisite for renewing an Oregon medical license. The rule requires:

OR
- 60 hours of continuing medical education per two years relevant to the licensee's current medical practice as follows:
- American Medical Association Category 1;
- American Osteopathic Association Category 1-A; or

If you are not participating in re-certification by the ABMS board, the AOA-BOS board, or the NCCPA board, you must complete the applicable credit hours by October 2011 (for the next renewal period 2012/13).
Thanks to the OMA for bringing this to our attention. For further information, see the specific Oregon Medical Board administrative rule OAR 847-008-0070 .
