Choosing Medical Care Wisely

(Click on the image for Choosing Wisely)

Choosing Wisely aims to promote conversations between clinicians and patients by helping patients choose care that is:

• Supported by evidence
• Not duplicative of other tests or procedures already received
• Free from harm
• Truly necessary

To help patients engage their health care provider in these conversations and empower them to ask questions about what tests and procedures are right for them, Consumer Reports has developed patient-friendly materials based on the specialty societies’ lists of recommendations.
Download the new Choosing Wisely app to your iPhone and have over 500 specialty society recommendations and 150 patient-friendly resources at your fingertips (iPad and Android versions coming soon).
