While I think innovation is lovely, there is another evolution you may not be aware of- Community based research networks. Instead of one group doing research over time with relatively slow advances, groups work collaboratively. The great example is the 6ish cancer research networks in this country- instead of taking years to research drugs/methodology, multiple hospitals gather info on large groups of diverse client populations in a short time and more rapid advances can be made. It is a pretty neat alternative to more competitive medicine that was trending "proprietary". Dee **************Plan your next getaway with AOL Travel. Check out Today's Hot 5 Travel Deals!
