title: Choosing Wisely®: A case study of constructive engagement in health policy.
abstract: Choosing Wisely began at a time when a polarized national debate on healthcare reform stymied effective conversation on effective and efficient resource use. The ABIM Foundation sought to change attitudes and culture and promote the idea that removing waste is an integral component of providing high quality care by using an approach of constructive engagement to persuade specialty societies to identify five wasteful tests or treatments within their field.
