Mike just posted about Peter Pronovost's call for the QI community to "embrace" science rather than to run from it. In this week's JAMA, our friends Eli and Ebb (Lautenbach) have an eloquent description of what it will mean to embrace science in pursuit of more effective infection prevention. Read it!
