"Choosing Wisely aims to encourage clinician and patient conversations across all disciplines of medicine. ASCP's work focuses on identifying tests that are commonly ordered but not always appropriate. When implemented, these recommendations can result in higher quality care, lower costs, and more effective use of our medical laboratory resources."

About Choosing Wisely

Evidence shows that 30% of the care delivered in the United States is inappropriate. Choosing Wisely is part of a multi-year effort led the ABIM Foundation to support and engage physicians in being better stewards of finite healthcare resources. ASCP is one of 70 medical societies in the Choosing Wisely campaign and is the only society representing pathologists and laboratory professionals.

ASCP Releases New List of Choosing Wisely Recommendations

ASCP has released a new list of Choosing Wisely recommendations for laboratory tests that are commonly ordered but not always appropriate in pathology and laboratory medicine. The new list of five targeted, evidence-based recommendations expands ASCP’s existing list to 35 recommendations and is designed to support conversations between patients and physicians about what care is really necessary.
