title: Legislation: regulation and strangulation or option for innovation?
abstract: Frequently, we in the health professions are reactive (or even reactionary) in response to the evolutions and revolutions in our system of health care. In fact, at times the best that can be said for us is that we are responsive (and we hope, responsible) to the need for change. I would suggest that we must be innovative in dealing with the plethora of health legislation.
