The idea
A 2021 study of five cancer-control practices put the time from publication to implementation at about 15 years, ranging from 13 to 21 — better than the 17 years once quoted.
In practice
Screening practices taking well over a decade to reach routine use.
Where people slip
Dated deliberately, and narrower than it sounds: five practices in one field, quoted as though it measured all of healthcare.
