Yes, we do. Your specific example of British Columbia is probably the best one. We have worked with the University of British Columbia as the host for housing what's called the Canadian Inter-Professional Health Collaborative. We have done a lot of work with them. One of the pieces of work we're funding now is exactly as you described, a concrete cost-benefit analysis--so making it real in terms of the savings associated, whether they're efficiencies or whether they're improvements in patient care or a reduction in incidents of adverse events or patient safety problems. We're working with them now to do that quantifying piece. I can't tell you that we've discovered that for every dollar invested there's an equivalent savings ofx, but we're trying to do that work now, again, through UBC.
