DIANE REHM: Dr. Williams, what do you thinkwe can learn from the RMP experience?

T. FRANKLIN WILLIAMS: Well I think we canlearn as some of the things I've already been

emphasizing I think...I think we can learnthat we can go much further than we often

have in improving the care of people withvarious conditions through some organized

efforts at consultation and especially ateducation, both professionals and the public.

And secondly, I think we...I felt we learnedthat we could organize effective approaches

at the regional or statewide levels in whateverthe natural groupings are, whichever, regional

or statewide, and that we can really do whatthe original purpose of the RMP was stated

to be; that is to translate our latest knowledgeinto care of patients.
