Substantial investments have been made in clinical research and development over the last 30 years
[but] Americans are not reaping the full benefit of these investments. The lag between

and
incorporation into routine patient care is
about 15 to 20 years. Even then, adherence of clinical practice to the evidence is highly uneven. |
