Innovation comes in many flavors and knocks on your door in many ways. Sometimes it looks like a great idea, and other times, you want to slam that door immediately. But then, you often want to take a peak.
That’s true for some of our readers who took the challenge to write on what they thought the greatest innovation has been over the last 15 years. Why 15 years? Because that’s how long LER has been around, and we wanted to take the opportunity to look back and see how far we’ve come. The thoughts shared in the collage, “Celebrating 15 Years of Innovation,” which appears here/page 32, provides details on a variety of innovations that affect everyday practice, but other articles within the issue have been specially curated to address this topic as well. We hope you enjoy them all.
Of course, the innovations that LER brings every month are the products of our many authors and reviewers and we want to provide a full-throated shout out to them for their efforts. We couldn’t do it without them and we thank you.
