Choosing Wisely® was launched in 2012 by the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation to promote conversations between clinicians and patients by helping patients choose care that is:
- Supported by evidence
- Doesn't Duplicate other tests or procedures
- Free from harm
- Truly necessary
- Antibiotic Use with Children
- Choosing Wisely Back Pain - ER
- Imaging tests for lower-back pain
- Treatment to Relieve Chronic Pain
- Palliative Care
- PSA tests for prostate cancer
- Treating heartburn and GERD
- Vitamin D tests
Choosing Wisely® recommendations align with the St. Luke’s Care Network clinical protocols. For more information and the full list of Choosing Wisely® recommendations, visit the Choosing Wisely® website: www.choosingwisely.org
