Greetings, and welcome to MD News Greater Kansas. Today, imaging is at the center of the diagnostic enterprise, and in response, Wichita Radiological Group — one of the largest subspecialty-focused groups in the state — is transitioning from a volume-based model to a value-based model. In our cover story, learn how physicians and staff at WRG are enhancing the patient's overall healthcare experience with more physician interaction, additional services and a new division of care. Patients who struggle with epilepsy often face challenges related to diagnosis and treatment. In a feature story, read about how staff at the Epilepsy Center at Ascension Via Christi St. Francis — the only accredited epilepsy center in the state west of Kansas City — hopes to change that. Scientists see more evidence of the integral role screening mammography continues to play in saving the lives of breast cancer patients. That is the subject of the feature in our special clinical section about radiology. In our clinical discussion, we review findings suggesting medicinal cannabinoids are safe for patients with multiple sclerosis but may provide only limited relief, and we also highlight some statistics about neurology. Other articles in this issue address Sedgwick County's higher-than-average rate of physician burnout and a retired physician's plight to raise awareness about eating disorders.
