10 Choosing Wisely Overview An ini1a1ve of the ABIM Founda1on to help physicians and pa1ents engage in conversa1ons to reduce overuse of tests and procedures

11 KEY COMMUNICATION SKILLS 1.Provide clear recommenda1ons. 2.Elicit pa1ents beliefs/ask ques1ons. 3.Provide empathy, partnership and legi1ma1on. 4.Confirm agreement/overcome barriers. Evidence Based Video Examples

12 Provide Clear Recommenda1ons Pa<ents want their physician to provide informa<on. Studies have shown that clinical outcomes such as blood pressure improve when physicians provide clear informa<on.

14 Elicit Pa1ents Beliefs/Ques1ons Many pa<ents won t express these concerns unless asked for fear of embarrassment. But if these hidden concerns remain unsolicited and unaddressed, the concerns may become the cause of persistent requests for medica<ons or further tes<ng. Del Piccolo L. Sal<ni A, Zimmerman C & Dunn G. Difference in verbal behaviors of pa<ents with and without emo<onal distress during primary care consulta<on.2000;psycho Med:30: White J, Levison W Toter D Oh, by the way the closing moments of the medical visit 1995, JGIM, 9,

15 Provide Empathy, Partnership & Legi1ma1on Studies have demonstrated that empathic comments do not take much <me or prolong encounters, and have a number of posi<ve outcomes for pa<ents including beoer blood pressure and glucose control. Fogarty LA, Curbow BA, Wingard JR, McDonnell K, Somerfield MR. Can 40 seconds of compassion reduce pa<ent anxiety? J Clin Oncol. 1999;17:371-9.

16 Confirm Agreement & Overcome Barriers Check for pa<ent understanding and agreement/ explora<on of any barriers to adherence. Arranging follow- up plans will reassure the pa<ent of your con<nued care. Finally acknowledging your support during the closure of the interview with concern solidifies a sense of partnership with your pa<ent and can improve health outcomes. Stewart MA.

20 Don t obtain imaging studies in pa1ents with non- specific low back pain. In pa1ents with back pain that cannot be afributed to a specific disease or spinal abnormality following a history and physical examina1on (e.g., non- specific low back pain), imaging with plain radiography, computed tomography (CT) scan, or magne1c resonance imaging (MRI) does not improve pa1ent outcomes. High quality evidence that imaging pa3ents with acute low back pain of 6 weeks dura3on with no red flags results in no clinical benefits and is associated with harms 1,2 1 Chou R, Qaseem A, Owens DK et al.
