In an accompanying editorial, Michael Davis, CRNP and Jeffrey Kopp, MD (National Institutes of Health) noted that the study also pointed to various factors — such as having access to
alternate dialysis in an integrated

transportation, and having a stable social situation — that could be important for avoiding missed dialysis treatments.
Solutions IBM (or the report writers recommend) are fuel efficient cars, more public
transportation, more ridesharing, more telecommuting, combined with the use of technology - congestion charging, but an integrated «multi modal» management
system that would be able to generate predictions for operators on what traffic was going to do in the very near future, as well as end user information sent via phones and smart phones, to help those in traffic make
alternate solutions.
