Choosing Wisely is an initiative of the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation in partnership with Consumer Reports and other consumer-oriented organizations to encourage "physicians, patients and other health care stakeholders to think and talk about medical tests and procedures that may be unnecessary, and in some instances cause harm."(1) The initiative's broader goal is to ensure that the right care is delivered at the right time and in the right place. As part of the initiative, 9 professional societies in 2012 each released "Five things physicians and patients should question." In this issue of Neurology®, Langer-Gould et al.(2) present the American Academy of Neurology's list, which joined those of 16 other specialty societies released in February 2013.
明智选择是美国内科医师学院基金会与消费者报告及其它以消费者为导向的组织合作发起的一项活动,旨在鼓励“医生、患者和其它医疗保健利益相关者思考和讨论可能不必要且在某些情况下会造成伤害的医疗检测和程序。”(1)该活动的更广泛目标是确保在适当的时间和地点提供适当的护理。作为该活动的一部分,2012 年 9 个专业协会各自发布了“医生和患者应该质疑的五件事”。在本期神经病学杂志中,(2)Langer-Gould 等人展示了美国神经病学学会的清单,该清单加入了 2013 年 2 月发布的 16 个其它专业协会的清单。
