États-Unis

As much as 30% of care delivered in the U.S. is duplicative, unnecessary, and has limited benefits to patients.

Why does this happen?
Because healthcare providers and patients are busy. It may seem challenging to take on a new initiative like the Choosing Wisely implementation, even when it can decrease the prevalence of medical overuse. However, it will ultimately save time, lower costs, and most importantly, provide patients with the best, most appropriate care.

Partnering effectively with patients and families is a critical first step in being part of the solution in combatting medical overuse.

Sign up today for our webinar on June 13th at 1-2 PM ET in collaboration with American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation (ABIMF).

Dr. Scott Pugel will share a Transformation Story:

Physician Program Director of Resource Stewardship, Dr. Scott Pugel, will share how Kaiser Permanent Georgia implemented Choosing Wisely regionally through 25 medical offices in 14 counties.

During this webinar, participants will:

Gain an understanding of best practices and barriers to regional implementation;
Learn about specific tactics used to implement; and
Understand their change management strategy.
