APA has worked with the FDA, AMA, state medical societies, and liability carriers to bring a new service—the Health Care Notification Network (HCNN)—to APA members. The HCNN, which is a private network for physicians and health care professionals, provides secure online delivery of news about drug and medical-device recalls and patient-safety alerts, replacing the current paper process that is both slow and prone to error. These are among other HCNN features:
•. 
The HCNN is free to physicians and their staff members.
•. 
A copy of alerts can be sent automatically to practice administrators and added to their physician account.
•. 
Privacy is protected by the not-for-profit board that governs the HCNN.
•. 
The HCNN does no advertising or selling.
•. 
Recipients can opt out at any time.
Alerts sent through the HCNN are paid for by manufacturers who use the network for alert delivery. APA members may enroll online at <www.hcnn.net/registration/apa/registration.aspx>. Additional information is available at <www.hcnn.net> or (866) 925-5155.
