DCMS wants to keep you
in the know. We do that by actively monitoring the legislative affairs
affecting health system reform. You can also visit our SGR
specific page for more information.
The Dallas County Medical Society
is closely monitoring the progress of health system reform and tracking
the actions taken by Congress. DCMS has taken a stand and specified
the key issues for successful reform. DCMS members believe passionately
that reform is needed, but only reform that will ensure accessible,
high-quality care for patients.
TMA has launched the “Me
and My Doctor: We Know Best” campaign to help you keep your
patients informed. To complement the new Web site (www.MeAndMyDoctor.com),
TMA has created posters to hang in your office and a social media
push. For information on these new elements of the patient-focused
campaign, visit TMA’s “Fix
What’s Wrong; Keep What’s Good – Social Media”
Web site.
Below is a list of resources, updates and
news links in one central Web page. DCMS members may receive updates
periodically. E-mail Tracy
Casto, DCMS director of public affairs and advocacy, or call
214-413-1427 to join the list.
