Later… you approach the IRB for a retrospective chart review study and get blessed with waived consent. Bonus: very likely to also get expedited review. | |

If you want to do a computer simulation of where to store surgical supplies to minimize walking, my institution supposedly requires IRB approval since it is research. They then classify it exempt since it is not human subject research. Imagine what would happen if every math research project required an IRB determination. | |
