Knowledge transfer


     Things we clearly know to be correct ***, we avoid doing. Instead - though it be inferior, or just plain wrong - we gravitate to what's easier, routine, within our comfort zone. We sleep-walk our way through life - private and professional - instead of living consciously, purposefully.
     "Gaps between evidence and decision-making occur at all levels of health care ... For example ... adults in the United States received less than 55% of recommended care."
