Listed below are some links to pieces I have written. Please note, any article written for the NABP
Newsletter and the Illinois Foundation for Quality Health Care's Quality Insider will not have my
byline because that was the organization's policy for their newsletters -- they wanted the
newsletter to have a universal "feel" to it, so they didn't have bylines.
