Access to specialty care is a long-standing chronic problem within the local community of indigent care providers. TCMS President Brian Sayers, MD, is appointing a physician task force to look at this problem from a different point of view, i.e., that of the practicing specialist. The task force will consist of representative practicing specialists. Its goal will be a consensus recommendation for how the current system might be functinally improved to make it more user friendly for the specialist and thus more effective for referring clinics.
