Hello semisweetchick, I have considered writing as an alternative career. I am very interested in talking with you further. Feel free to message me.

I know this is an older post, but I thought I would respond anyway. Hopefully this finds you and can guide others. Try narrowing your search to a specific CAM and disease process. I know there have been a lot of research in the area of Autism, diabetes, migraine headaches, and food allergies. The National Institutes of Health Center for CAM has a set of clinical guidelines specific to diseases and disorders, some of which are pediatric specific. They can guide you in narrowing your research terms. http://nccam.nih.gov/health/providers/clinicalpractice.htm Also, the Society of Integrative Oncology has a document on their website with evidence based recommendations for a variety of CAM therapies. These are adult specific, but could be easily integrated to the pediatric population. The recommendations could aso serve as another starting point to narrow your research terms. I am not sure that I am in agreement with all of their recommendations, however I have only briefly scanned the document. http://www.integrativeonc.org/index.php/sio-publishes-2009-practice-guidelines Remember even if research has been reviewed and translated to an evidence based guildeline, it is still up to the practicing RN to critique the guideline to determine its usefullness to their practice area. A helpful tool in critiquing clinical practice guidelines is the AGREE tool www.agreecollaboration.org

Hello all, I've been interested in doing Hedis abstracting for years. However, I would like to educate myself in abstracting before applying. Could anyone direct me to online educational resources? Everytime I "google" Hedis, I only come up with job postings. Also, I was wondering if there isn't much work in your area, could you travel to states close to yours that have a lot of work? How long are you at each office or facility typically? Thank you for any information Kelly
