Health Care Reform↗

Medical savings accounts and the uninsured in Oklahoma.

Medical savings accounts (MSAs) and medical IRAs are important components of a "market-based" strategy for health care reform that have been opposed by many physicians for several reasons including lack of the applicability of these concepts to solving the problem of the uninsured. On closer inspection of the uninsured in Oklahoma, it is apparent that the majority of the uninsured in Oklahoma are in groups with annual incomes which allow a majority of persons within those groups to afford health insurance. Medical savings accounts are flexible, affordable, and portable forms of health coverage which are already being used in other states by significant numbers of persons with annual incomes similar to the majority of Oklahomans who are uninsured. Physicians are encouraged to support the implementation of these concepts as well as other market-based concepts in order to bring about fiscally responsible and truly effective health care reform.

Say no to government control of patient care.

Healthcare reform threatens to jeopardize the role of physicians in deciding what is appropriate care for their patients. Factors outside the doctor-patient relationship, such as a global budget and limited access, will exert increasing influence on the decision-making process, according to Dr Dewberry. In this commentary, he explores the roots of this dangerous trend and suggests that physicians take an uncompromising stance against it.

A strategy to improve developmental screening during well baby visits.

There is evidence that the developmental exam is frequently neglected during the well baby exam because of time constraints. We placed a simple, standardized developmental screening instrument on the medical record of children under two years of age and then monitored physician use of the chart for the next 18 months. Developmental screening increased from 15.7% during the 12 months prior to our intervention to 41.9% during the 12 months after our intervention. Use of the screening instrument by faculty appeared to have an important influence on resident physician use of the instrument during the well baby exam.
