TOPICDISCUSSION
Welcome and Introductions
B. Wivell, SIG Coordinator, welcomed everyone. Participants in attendance introduced themselves.
Recap
2nd official meeting since SIG status granted in Fall 2002. Got together initially to standardize neutropenic care in light of various practices. Did survey; then plan was for members to go back to institutions and give B. Wivell feedback re: neutropenia related research and PI. But most people responded by saying they didn’t have anything and progress was stagnated.
Review and Approval of Minutes
Motion made to accept minutes, seconded and unanimously carried.

TOPICDISCUSSION
Membership
3/04 - 108 members in SIG.
Newsletter
Need an editor, decided on themes. B. Wivell solicited authors.
Teresa Knoop suggested getting something from the European ONS’s “ATAQ” efforts.
We need three newsletters for the year. B. Wivell would like to get a post- Congress issue out.
Suggested topics include: neutropenic diet practices - Look at evidence; include something about Barbara Wilson’s Forum 2002 article. Katherine West suggested that the group brainstorm about the top three issues and then work on them.
Topics discussed – tubing changes; Barbara Wilson’s neutropenic diet; Brenda Shelton neutropenic precautions; Management of Neutropenic Practices – Fact or Fiction; and include information about levels of evidence. First newsletter – post Congress.
Update from Expert Panel
Discussed ways to be proactive rather than reactive in neutropenia management. Ask ONS to support/coordinate State of the Knowledge Conference with the goal of generating ONS guidelines for neutropenia management. Nancy Hayes suggested that we consider working with other liaisons from other organizations so it’s integrated.
D. Wujcik explained the process for getting your topic mentioned/formally recorded as part of Town Hall and for getting a topic submitted to the Steering Council.
B. Wivell requested that everyone complete the “Town Hall” topic form in the folder received at Congress. B. Wivell and A. Davis will work on completing the “Steering Council” form.
Research Work Group
Put on hold in light of efforts to get/hold a State of the Knowledge Conference to help identify gaps in research.
