Quote
  "Innovation is specific, not general: Breaking a code. Stopping the spread of HIV. It is often serendipitous, not planned (Post-It Notes, anyone?) and arises from motivated individuals who secretly make time (the discoverer of Valium) or are given time (can't we all work for Google?). Any one CEO who hires a chief innovation officer doesn't understand his own job or what he should be expecting of his executives and workers."

Michael Millenson, President, Health Quality Advisors, LLC
 
 
Factoid
  "Providers spend more time fulfilling PAs than any other interaction (an average of eight hours per week), costing between $2,000 and $14,000 in administrative costs each year"
