Choosing Wisely

Choosing Wisely is an initiative aimed at promoting conversations between patients and healthcare providers about necessary medical tests and treatments. It encourages patients to think critically about their healthcare options, questioning if certain procedures are truly needed. The goal is to reduce unnecessary tests and treatments that offer little benefit and can lead to increased healthcare costs and potential harm. By fostering informed decision-making, Choosing Wisely seeks to improve patient outcomes and promote the efficient use of medical resources, ensuring that patients receive the right care at the right time.
