Description

The desired result of this program is to improve patient outcomes by reducing harm related to over utilization of diagnostic testing. The program overview includes identification of harm, excess costs and waste in healthcare followed by evidence based guidelines to change physician practice patterns of ordering unnecessary testing. The goal of the initiative is to provide an understanding of the 3-pronged approach to change management including education about waste globally and specific to testing, using concise evidence at the point of care using technology to change ordering patterns and providing analytics to measure the effectiveness of the change. The approach will, in turn, improve patient care and satisfaction.

Once registration is complete, you will receive a confirmation email that contains a link to the evaluation survey that you will need to complete for CME credit.
