Choosing Wisely: Opportunities and Challenges in Curbing Medical Overuse

“Choosing Wisely” is an initiative launched in 2012 by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Foundation in partnership with Consumer Reports -- and which receives funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation -- to advance a national dialogue on avoiding wasteful or unnecessary medical tests, treatments and procedures. At the five-year mark of the initiative, Health Affairs gathered leaders of the effort, plus distinguished practitioners and researchers, to take a close look at what’s been accomplished so far and to identify the challenges that remain.
