4 ABIM Foundation. Survey: Physicians Aware Many Tests and Procedures are Unnecessary, See Themselves as Solution. 2014. http://www.abimfoundation.org/News/ABIM-Foundation-News/2014/choosing-wisely-survey-release.aspx
ABIM Foundation Survey
the frequency of unnecessary tests and procedures is a very or somewhat serious problem
73% the average medical doctor prescribes an unnecessary test or procedure at least once a week.
72%
53% that even if they know a medical test is unnecessary, they order it if a patient insists
47% their patients ask for an unnecessary test or procedure at least once a week
Physicians reported:

Vitamin D
Appropriate test for routine assessment of vitamin D status, including general population screening, as it is the most accurate measure of vitamin D stores.

• Oversee implementation of policies and formulary
• Create and execute communication plan
• Develop lab ordering policies
• Oversee formulary development
• Govern new tests, retired tests, reference labs, etc

Questions to Consider
Should the test be on the menu?
What do ordering providers need to know about the test?
Should the test be available to every provider?
What do ordering providers need to know about the test in this situation?
Should the ordering provider be educated about this test?
![Page 20: A Roadmap for an Effective Laboratory Utilization Management Program Webinar... · 2015-06-19 · A Roadmap for an Effective Laboratory Utilization Management Program Casey Leavitt,](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022053004/5f08afaf7e708231d4233ac8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Formulary Development Experiences
Focus on INPATIENT; outpatient poses risks to relationships and reimbursement
Measure RESULTS Pathology SUPPORTED not driven
Little PHYSICIAN resistance
Disseminating information to providers is difficult; implement in CPOE and deal with a few calls
it is strangely
addictive has endless
opportunities
fun

Implementation
Engage IT early and often
Sometimes it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission
Physician education yields mixed results

Vitamin D tracking
$18,261 in savings*
*based on MCR allowables
When applied to outpatients across the health system,
projected savings of $700,000/year

It’s about more than cost savings.
As we make the transition to value-based care, we must experience a behavioral and cultural shift so that we are practicing medicine in a much more thoughtful and efficient way.
