Objectives1. To describe the “epidemic of overuse”2. To describe the Choosing Wisely Canada
campaign 3. To share specific strategies to implement
Choosing Wisely in medical education and practice
Issue of medical overuse
Medical overuse facts• IOM - 30% of health care spending wasteful, no added
value to patient care• Saskatchewan study - pre-school children with
respiratory infections 50% of prescriptions inappropriate• 2 teaching hospitals in Alberta and Ontario:
– 28% of lumbar spine MRIs inappropriate (27% uncertain value)
– 9% of head scans for headache inappropriate (+ 8% questionable)
• CWC study - 28% of bone mineral density (DEXA) scans and 37% of pre-operative tests in Ontario inappropriate
Cultural factors
Systems factors
Physician and patient factors
Overuse
Physicians determine care1. Which patients are seen and how frequently2. Which patients are hospitalized3. Which tests, procedures and surgical
operations are administered4. Which technologies are used5. Which medications are prescribed
Emanuel EJ. JAMA. 2013.
I’ve always done this
Better to do something than
nothing
The patient wants it
New tests are good
Referring doctor wants it
I don’t want to get sued

Choosing Wisely campaign
9
What is Choosing Wisely Canada?• A national campaign, led by the medical
profession to:
– Help physicians and patients engage in conversations about unnecessary tests, treatments and procedures
– Help physicians and patients make smart and effective choices
– Ensure patients get care they need and avoid tests, treatments and procedures that could cause harm
10
Objectives1. To encourage physicians to engage in conversations with patients about the
overuse of tests, treatments and medical procedures.
2. To empower patients to make informed choices, in consultation with their physicians, about getting the right care while limiting exposure to unnecessary tests, treatments and medical procedures.
3. To cultivate a culture of responsible stewardship of health care resources among physicians – from those in medical schools to those in professional practice.
4. To engender public dialogue on the issue “more is not always better”, when it comes to medical tests, treatments and procedures.
5. To engage health system and non-medical stakeholders, at provincial/territorial and national levels, in the implementation of the Choosing Wisely Canada campaign.

Campaign approach
• Societies develop lists• Disseminate through multiple channelsPhysicians
• Develop patient materials• Disseminate broadly through multiple channelsPatients
• Coordinated approach toward media• Multiple voices, a common messageMedia
• Work through health care stakeholder organizations to implement and support adoptionStakeholders

Operating principles for Top 5 lists
Process must be publicly available
Must be evidence to support list
items
List items must be frequent
List items must be within
society’s purview
Societies free to determine

Patient engagement
More Is Not Always Better: purpose1. Promote the message that in medicine as it is
in life, “more is not always better”2. Educate patients about when they might
need a particular test or treatment, and when they don’t
3. Encourage patients to talk with their doctor about unnecessary care
Implementation
Early Adopters Collaborative• National learning collaborative of those who
have expressed interest in or are in the process of implementing the CWC recommendations
• Collaborative serves as learning platform where groups could showcase their work and create toolkits for use by future adopters

Evaluation
Multifaceted measurement• Physician attitudes and self-reported
experience (physician survey)
• Patient receptiveness to message
• Physician ordering – this will take time to change
• Implementation in medical education
At least somewhat familiar with CW
Agree/strongly agree that primary responsibility for ordering rests with physicians
Agree/strongly agree patients will benefit from CW recommendations
Agree/strongly agree that patients drive inappropriate use of services

necessary
I ignored my doctor's advice, but did not discuss it with him or her
I took the test or treatment without discussing it with the

Has a doctor ever recommended a test or treatment that you did not feel was necessary for your health?
How did you respond (to what you thought was unnecessary treatment)?
Don’t routinely perform preoperative testing (such as chest X-rays,
echocardiograms, or cardiac stress tests) for patients undergoing low risk surgeries)
