So by reducing those, you've reduced paperwork, you've reduced administrative burden. But the other aspect of this is the burden on our patients. We transitioned from clinical integrated trials to this concept of two-stage consent. And the idea behind that was really when we sit there as our traditional consent in a randomized trial, we say, this is this new idea. It's really cool.

I'm really excited. I want to dedicate the next 10 years of my life studying this. This is what it is, and these are its risks. Oh, by the way, here's this other thing that I'm trying to move away from, but I'm going to balance with equipoise, talk about how this is just as good and has these risks. And a patient leaves those rooms, and now there's many sources of data that show this,

with this burden of information that creates anxiety, that creates an inability to fully understand what they're reading or trials they want to enroll in or not enroll in, which actually reduces enrollment.

It reduces patient autonomy because now they don't feel they're making that decision on their own, especially if they're not there to investigate everything that's been told or if they remember everything. So we said, why don't we just remove the burden of that initial conversation? And so the concept was, up front, let's tell patients that we're dedicated to, for example, we had a trial, again,

We talk about singles and doubles, especially low stakes trials. I was very interested in improving pain and discomfort in our biopsy room. And you've been there with us when you were a fellow with Casey as our ultrasound technician. And, you know, the patients, especially when active surveillance was growing, were getting lots of biopsies.

And it was the number one complaint of every active surveillance patient was, you know, I love not having radical treatment, but God, this thing hurts. So we were like thinking of different ways to improve it.

And one concept that came up was, why don't we get our integrative medicine folks who do this with pediatrics and they figure out ways to reduce pain and discomfort for, you know, bone marrow aspirates or other things through basically the power of mindfulness. Let's get them involved and create tapes that patients can listen to during the biopsy procedure and do a mindfulness exercise.
