San Francisco Chronicle / Molly Joel Coye: Bringing hospitals the latest technology "Dr. Molly Joel Coye has the tough task of keeping hospitals abreast of the latest technological advances, even though many are struggling to make ends meet...
As a member of the Institute of Medicine, Coye was also behind two highly publicized reports that shook up the medical establishment. The first, in 1999, reported that as many as 98,000 Americans a year die from preventable medical errors. A follow-up report in 2001 found that it took an average of 17 years for new research knowledge to become incorporated into standard practice."
