Mass. seeks to limit corporate role in clinical decisions

Article Abstract:

Massachusetts' Board of Registration in Medicine is taking steps to control the impact of corporations on physician decision-making. The Board drafted regulations defining the types of entities that physicians could practice in with varying degrees of regulation. Nonprofit entities and physician-owned or -controlled entities already meet the requirements of the proposed regulations. However, for-profit managed care entities or other medical care entities will have to convince the board that their health care decisions are being made by the doctors themselves and not by the corporate entities.

Gray days ahead

Article Abstract:

More than 40 schools across America have teamed medical students with senior citizens to help students relate to seniors, understand their health issues, and learn from their health care experiences. At the same time, some medical organizations are helping practicing physicians to study treating the aging population by offering new initiatives and more continuing medical education.
