Survey Results

Prior to the symposium, 52 percent of the 362 registrants completed a survey asking decision makers for their current priority issues and researchers for their current research topics. The results indicate that both decision makers and researchers feel the theme "Performance Indicators, Benchmarks, and Outcomes" is at the top of their priority list.
