Monroe Clinic has joined the WCHQ (Wisconsin Collaborative of Healthcare Quality) to participate in the Choosing Wisely Campaign.

Choosing Wisely aims to promote conversations between doctors and patients by helping patients choose care that is:
•    Supported by evidence
•    Not duplicative of other tests or procedures already received
•    Free from harm
•    Truly necessary

A major focus area is  the use of antibiotics for viral infections.

A second major focus is the unnecessary testing for lower back pain. 

Choosing Wisely is just one of many quality care initiatives in place at Monore Clinic. To learn about the other efforts we are taking to provide the very best care click here.
