Description:
Choosing Wisely Canada (CWC) is an initiative about reducing unnecessary tests and procedures in health care. A movement is afoot for MLPs to become involved with CWC. CSMLS and the University of Alberta are collaborating to create a list of CWC recommendations that represent activities within our scope of practice. This multi-stage project is currently underway, and efforts to engage MLPs are a central activity. This webinar will highlight the overall project progress. Listen in and be inspired by the ideas for this important initiative.

Learner Feedback
"The information is relevant to the real-time investigation into the [Choosing Wisely Canada]initiative. "
Good introduction and overview of the Choosing Wisely Initiative and how it applies to [medical laboratory professionals]."
"It is good for [medical laboratory professionals] to be able to use their analytical skills and consider if the tests being done are, in fact, in the best interest of the patients, and not just go about running them automatically. This is also a good path that can lead to collaboration with all levels of healthcare (doctors, nurses, MLPs, patients) so everyone is clear about what is being ordered and why."
