In an era of increasing emphasis on cost-effectiveness and efficient utilization of resources, physicians and patients can expect to face changes in clinical practices. Smooth transition from inefficient and expensive practices of the past to more cost-effective, newer practices would require strategies to identify and address the concerns of both physicians and patients. The involvement of patients will be important to maintaining patient satisfaction and patient empowerment. This article describes an example of effective solicitation of cooperation from physicians and patients for cost containment and reduction of inappropriate use of electrocardiograms.
