Buried in today’s Chronicle was a column by Mike Weiss that contains an idea so profound it could literally change the world.

Weiss reports on the work of Mark Murray, a physician who figured out how to fix one of the most annoying aspects of modern healthcare — the fact that, unless you’re bleeding profusely from a recent stab wound, you can’t see your doctor for 2-3 weeks.

Murray’s solution is as fascinating as it is simple.

His company conducts workshops to teach the implementation of the “open access scheduling” system, but it appears an overview is available online, for free.

I wish my doctor would take the time to read this. [insert joke about my doctor’s 2-week backlog here]
