IN THE SPOTLIGHT 

 

Look for the TMA physicians survey

 

 

Let your voice be heard! Complete the TMA 2014 Texas Physicians Survey for a chance comment on the current state of the medical profession.  Your responses to the survey will help TMA provide physician opinion and experience on healthcare issues to support its policy development and political focus.

 

Further, when you take every survey in the 2014 series, you will be entered into a drawing for one of five Apple iPads.

In a recent letter to the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee, TMA's Matt Murray, MD, chairman of the TMA Ad Hoc Committee on Health Information Technology, urges Congress to stop Medicare from requiring any new Stage 2 meaningful use criteria.  Adding to this burden are the pending EHR penalties on Medicare changes scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1, 2015.
