Fast Typists to Transcribe Florida Antipsychotic Committee Meeting Videos

Last Wednesday, a Florida agency "met" with "experts" to discuss antipsychotics and children in relation to Medicaid payment.

Nearly all of the committee members attended the meeting by phone.
What happened? Confusion.

The below videos total one hour and need to be transcribed and then analyzed to find gems such as
one committee member, a psychiatrist, saying:

"I think we can all agree that the data on proper use of these medications in young children is not there, so any
recommendations that we make would not be based on any medical science or any facts - we'd all be flying by
the seat of our pants."

The volunteer(s) can pick one of the 10 minute videos (below) to transcribe or more than one!

After the videos are transcribed we'll send the document out to everyone so it can be analyzed.

Florida recently implemented a program that puts a bit of control in on antipsychotics on young children. Any prescription for these high-powered mind altering drugs must now have prior authorization.
