No matter what the system, if cost trumps quality, then patients suffer. That's what's wrong with the VA, today's epitome of a govt. run system with problems. And that's what's wrong with Managed Cost Organizations.

Of course that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
