Inquiries can be made at http://www.4u2c.tv/4steps4success where organizations can request a free Comprehensive Multi-media Patient Education Resource Guide. The MDTV 4Steps4Success(TM) program offers a comprehensive solution to help medical organizations unite in leadership and education in an effort to improve the quality of patient care and medical communications to the public. This proven system results in physician evaluations, improved leadership and patient education on the local level, increased public awareness through innovative media coverage, and heightened patient safety and satisfaction. Implementation of the MDTV 4Steps4Success(TM) program steers the public to only Select(CM) doctors, a quality doctor certification program, and raises the standard of patient care through direct-to-consumer-education (DTCE(TM)) nationwide, community by community.

Doctors who have earned the Select(CM) mark of distinction volunteer to be scrutinized and have passed a non-biased, third party evaluation and background check conducted by the American Medical and Media Responsibility and Compliance Authority (http://www.4u2c.tv/ammrca ). Select(CM) doctors not only make a commitment to medical excellence, they are also dedicated to leadership, education, and patient satisfaction in their community by pledging to practice with the following MDTV TRUE principles: Truth, Responsibility, Unity, and Education. According to MDTV, over the past eight years, patients of MDTV Select(CM) doctors have reported that they are so comfortable with their doctor and quality of care, they feel like family. This mark of distinction, similar to the Good Housekeeping seal or J.D. Power & Associates delivers an assurance of quality in the medical industry for the overall benefit of the public. In addition to MDTV media and doctors, the AMMRCA urges all aforementioned medical related organizations, including all network and local media, to visit http://www.4u2c.tv/4steps4success and request a FREE Comprehensive Multi-media Patient Education Resource Guide.
