To continue to be successful as a profession, we, as radiologists, must respond and continually work visibly for improved patient care and outcomes. Because we are limited in our resources, particularly radiologists, we will need innovative solutions, and more collegial collaboration that leverages our technology. Strategic planning is a major focus of the MRS for this year. This is a formal process being conducted with the Executive Committee to create a clear mission, define a vision, make priorities, and implement an action plan. In short, we aim to make the MRS even more efficient and effective as a professional organization.
Pressures intensify from all sides.
Whether it be about patient care, government, managed care, litigation, referring physicians, or hospitals, radiology needs a strong credible voice within the Commonwealth. Contact your President, or members of the Executive Committee, by phone or e-mail. Give us a heads up on issues, or your concerns. Get your entire group to join. Offer MRS membership as a benefit of employment.
