Dokta Blong Mi Agreement

Please find our contract below. We would like you to read and understand the intent and content.

Summary

Expectations - Dokta Matt

• Maintain US and Vanuatu medical licenses.
• Complete Continuing Medical Education.
• Follow codes of professional and legal conduct.
• Communicate clearly with DBM patients and families.
• Be available for DBM patients day and night, within the constraints of triage.
• Coordinate family leave with DBM families.
• Keep clear, protected medical records and provide copies upon request.
• Provide the best pediatric care possible.

Expectations - DBM Member Patients and Families 

• Understand our DBM priorities: First, Dokta Matt's responsibility to his family, then to DBM patients and then to teaching the interns at VCH and contributing to the medical community. If we are courteous to one another, all can have their needs met.
• Communicate needs clearly and with as much advance notice as possible.
• In addition to membership fee, reimburse hard costs incurred (such as medications and supplies) beyond 10% of membership fee.

Expectations - DBM Subscription Patients and Families 

• Understand our DBM priorities: First, Dokta Matt's responsibility to his family, then to DBM patients and then to teaching the interns at VCH and contributing to the medical community. If we are courteous to one another, all can have their needs met.
• Communicate needs clearly and with as much advance notice as possible.
• In addition to subscriptions, be prepared to pay for consultation and variable fees at time of service. If we are required to dedicate significant time managing finances, it will detract from our systemic improvement goals.

Expectations - DBM Trial Patients and Families 

• Understand our DBM priorities: First, Dokta Matt's responsibility to his family, then to DBM patients enrolled in plans and then to teaching the interns at VCH and contributing to the medical community. DBM trial patients are included where possible because we love children and want them to get the best care possible.
• Communicate needs clearly and with as much advance notice as possible.
• Be prepared to pay for consultation and variable fees at time of service in cash. We know that the fees are high but hope that you appreciate that DBM is not set up to handle one-off consultations.
• Understand that we strongly discourage this approach as a strategy for emergencies as there is too high a probability that other priorities will keep Dokta Matt from being available when you might hope.
