A very interesting read, by Clare Liddy and Erin Keely. Two doctors, finding an innovating solution to improve patient wait times. Claire (a Family Doctor) and Erin (Endocrinologist), came a cross “a large chasm called, patient wait times and both started seeing more and more of their patients swallowed by this abyss.”

The message that both Clare and Erin are given us, is that: Successful innovations are built on a foundation of sound evidence and that evidence comes from solid research.

Sad, but true.
