      @Atul_Gawande What if patients demanded it? Made surgeon sign that he would? Insurers should at very least -- no reimbursement if not used.

      .@nyc118 Some states even pay hospitals to adopt. But like w/ any reg, we found they took $ but went thru the motions: http://bit.ly/SikPVn

          @Atul_Gawande @nyc118 As w/any regs, rules, etc, must be internal culture to support. Starts at top. See Wall Street, etc.

          @twmtalks @Atul_Gawande Or from the bottom (#ows). Insurers w/ vested interest can educate members to demand. Other orgs -- AARP?

          @twmtalks BCBSA and AARP could have impact. BCBSA has more complex (contracts) relationship w/ providers. (I worked for BCBS insurer).

          @nyc118 Evidence-based arguments 4 effective implementation; consumer ed on smart health care; pol pressure; $ incentives. All have part.
