When physicians and nurse practitioners are able to work together at a high level, patient care improves. That kind of partnership depends on well-defined supervision requirements and state rules that reflect how care is delivered today.

It’s no secret that healthcare can be complicated. Navigating systems and decoding medical terms takes time and can be frustrating.

Physicians devote themselves to years of training and education to confidently provide the highest quality of care for their patients. They know helping patients make informed decisions about their health starts by making room for questions, explaining options and helping them understand what comes next.

October is Health Literacy Month. Tell us in the comments: What helps you feel heard at a doctor’s appointment?

The Patients First Act, H.R. 9693, would update Medicare physician payment to better reflect the real cost of delivering care, simplify quality measures, and expand opportunities for alternative payment models. For patients, that means a stronger physician workforce and better access to care. For physicians, it means a payment system that is more workable, more predictable, and more aligned with the realities of practice.

Today, we recognize National Internal Medicine Day and the essential role of internal medicine physicians in caring for adults through every stage of life.

Internal medicine focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of adult health conditions, from common illnesses to complex chronic diseases.

MSMA is proud to support the physicians who lead care teams, coordinate comprehensive treatment, and keep patients at the center of every decision.

Thank you to the internal medicine doctors whose expertise strengthens our health care system every day!

On Halloween, anyone can be a doctor in Missouri... as long as you have a joke or two ready while trick or treating! Here are a few suggestions:

- "Which bone loves Halloween the most?" The humerus, because the jokes are so funny!
- “Why don’t skeletons fight each other?” They don’t have the guts.
- “Why did the funny bone stop telling jokes?” It kept hitting a nerve.
- “I’d tell you a joke about HIPAA, but I’m not allowed to share it.”
- “I’d tell you a joke about prior authorization, but it hasn’t been approved yet.”
- “Why is the vagus nerve so good at keeping secrets?” What happens in vagus stays in vagus!

How many do you think dressed up as a doctor for Halloween as a kid? If that was you, tell us in the comments!

Physicians are integral in helping shape the future of medicine through the care they provide, fighting alongside patients for high-quality care and timely access to care every step of the way. From the exam room to medical research, education and advocacy, their work reflects a deep commitment to healing patients and making sure they feel heard, understood and supported.

That patient-physician relationship is at the heart of what it means to practice medicine. Health care is strongest when physicians aren’t burdened by red tape and instead have the time to listen and care for their patients.
