Making it fun to be a doctor again
Just a quick update as I think it may be of interest.
Medicine Forward and ACP met again yesterday. We committed to convene a national panel this May to raise awareness about the prior auth problem. This will be directly tied into forces that are driving doctors out of medicine, ie not having a voice and the admin burden. We will be coordinating with contacts from national news outlets such as the Atlantic, and have ACP's full support. Will plan to elevate stories of how prior auth has caused harm, and is a starting point for our grassroots group of doctors to positively impact our broken system.
Sanford Zeigler is a CT surgeon member who put it best, his passion is wanting to make it fun to be a doctor again. I couldn't agree more.
Stay tuned.
