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