Free webinar – from evidence of overuse to deimplementation

Posted on September 21, 2022November 16, 2022 by minnajohansson

Join Cochrane Sustainable Healthcare and Choosing Wisely Canada for a webinar on the challenges of tackling low-value care practices that do not add value to patient care.

Experts share experiences on how to address the urgency of finding out when and how de-implementation, de-intensification of medical interventions, and diagnostics should be undertaken, without causing harm to patients, de-professionalizing clinicians, or counteracting shared decision-making processes.

Speakers:

  • Dr. Minna Johansson, Director of Cochrane Sustainable Healthcare
  • Dr. Wendy Levinson, Choosing Wisely Canada
  • Dr. Jeremy Grimshaw, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute
  • Dr. Nicolaas Sieds Klazinga, OECD Health Care Quality Indicator
