In a NASS Blog report, the organization defends the Choosing Wisely campaign, designed to encourage active discussion between physicians and patients about appropriate care. Last year NASS released “Five Things Physicians and Patients Should Question” to help reduce waste in healthcare.

 

ABIM also released a response to the article, defending the campaign’s goals for improved care.
