"Choosing Wisely" List is About Good Judgment

No Author — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 11:30:00 EST

When the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation published its list of 45 overused tests and procedures that physicians and patients should think twice about, it did so with the caveat that these aren�t things doctors should never do � nor are they actions that should never be covered by public and private insurers.

The Choosing Wisely campaign was sparked by a 2010 article that prompted the National Physicians Alliance to publish a list of overused tests and procedures in primary care. The ABIM Foundation wanted to spread the idea to as many medical specialties as possible.  The ABIM Foundation recruited nearly a dozen consumer groups, including Consumer Reports, to help disseminate the list.

They reported there was nothing damaged or broken and it must be a bad sprain. They wrapped her little ankle and sent her home. Ten days later Hallie still refused to stand on her left leg.

One of our relatives suggested a good friend who she felt could find the answer or at least confirm things once more--Dr. Nick Anthony D.C. at 'Action Chiropractic Center' in Abilene, Texas...

Comprehensive Health Planning, Chiropractic Physicians and Primary Care

No Author — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:00:00 EST

At the 95th Annual Meeting of the American Public Health Association (APHA), Douglas Cater, special assistant to the president of the United States, presented a paper titled �Comprehensive Health Planning.�

Active practicing chiropractic physicians were, in some parts of the country, appointed to Comprehensive Health Planning Councils and their principal concern was that chiropractic physicians must, at all costs, be categorized as �primary care providers,� because under comprehensive health care planning, all patients were to access health care through the primary care physician who would refer, when necessary, to a �secondary provider� (also known as a specialist), and when more urgent care was necessary, the patient would be referred to a �tertiary provider,� a specialist who worked in the hospital setting.
