Highly Trained Medical Persons May Be Answer
Dr. W Clarke Wescoe of the University of Kansas outlined a long range plan using highly trained subprofessionals under doctors to address doctor shortages. The concept aims to serve small communities with emergency care, triage, and potential closed circuit doctor communication as testing continues in a regional approach across 9 Kansas counties. Kansas may pursue medical regionalization as a short term solution with cooperation among physicians and hospitals amid nationwide shortages due to Vietnam service. State Rep Bill H Fribley and Clyde M Reed lead the southeast Kansas committee.
