STATE REPORTS: PROGRESS IN WISCONSIN

H. KENT TENNEY JR. M.D.

Editors: JOHN P. HUBBARD, M.D..

AS OF present date the states listed below have published reports of the study of child health services. Most of the other states are known to have reports in various stages of preparation.[SEE THE TABLE IN SOURCE PDF]

It is timely to note some of the steps being taken to activate the recommendations of these state reports. The following communication from Dr. Tenney, State Chairman for Wisconsin, is one example of significant progress being made at the state level:

DEAR DR. HUBBARD:

As a first step in activating the findings and recommendations of the Wisconsin Study of Child Health Services, the committee decided to inaugurate the plan of "roving residents." The theory and scope of the project is well set forth in a letter which Mr. Roy T. Ragatz, assistant secretary of the State Medical Society, sent to the officers of the county societies selected as trial areas. He states:

"The Committee on Maternal and Child Health of the State Medical Society, in cooperation with the State Board of Health and the Pediatric Departments of our two medical schools, has been working on a program which we feel will be of great service to your members if properly introduced and adequately supervised.

"It has been proposed that a carefully selected number of pediatric residents be made available to selected county medical societies for a short period of time this spring to work with individual members who have special pediatric problems they wish discussed. The plan is to supply this service only upon the invitation of the county medical society and it is to be set up in such a way that there will be no conflict with private practice or the normal channels of consultation.
