Choosing Wisely®
The Action Group has been serving as an advocate for Choosing Wisely since its inception. This initiative of the ABIM Foundation seeks to advance a national dialogue on avoiding unnecessary medical tests, treatments and procedures. With an estimated $765 billion in health care system waste every year, it is essential to involve all stakeholders in reversing this unsustainable trend. Read more about the campaign here.
