CGIT intensifies efforts to put new technologies into the hands of clinicians

The mission of CGIT begins with the encouragement of new technology but it includes all the steps needed to shepherd innovations into routine clinical application. This includes helping with the strategies that will incentivize clinicians to learn the technology. While this has always been part of the CGIT mission, the cochairs are increasing their attention to eliminating delays in the process, which they recognize as a threat to fulfilling the CGIT mandate.

“There are challenges to bringing new ideas to the marketplace, and we think that pace between idea and product is too slow,” Dr. Komanduri said. “We want to increase the emphasis on finding ways to streamline the process.”
