from the Publisher R E E T I N G S , H E A L T H C A R E LE ADE RS . Thanks for picking up the latest issue of MD News Greater Boston. This magazine is dedicated to providing locally focused updates about the medical industry. Our cover story this month focuses on orthopedic care at Southcoast Health. Led by Chief of Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine Michael J. Langworthy, MD, who joined in 2013, the Department of Orthopedics has embraced a model of wrap-around, patient-centered care. In our interview with Dr. Langworthy, we examine some of the ways Southcoast is changing delivery of care to offer an even wider array of orthopedic services more efficiently. We also examine models for international telemedicine, including programs serving providers and patients outside the United States as well as those outsourcing services for efficiency and cost savings. We discuss profit and nonprofit models of cross-border consultations and speculate about what the future may hold for both. Our special clinical section's theme is neurosciences and the up-and-coming research within the discipline. We feature a University of Southern California initiative to develop a meticulously detailed map of the mouse cerebral cortex and the implications for understand- ing human neurological diseases. We also discuss how small-molecule fluorescence may improve diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. Your feedback helps keep MD News up to date on important discussions in the local medical field.
