CalViva Health and Health Net are introducing the Choosing Wisely® initiative to encourage evidence-based care and reduce unnecessary tests, treatments, and procedures. This is an educational initiative focused on improving patient-provider communication and avoiding overuse of medical services.
Action Required
Immediately: Download and display educational materials (flyers, rack cards, wallet cards) in waiting rooms, office counters, and exam rooms from ChoosingWisely.org. Review clinician recommendation lists and implementation toolkits to establish a 'choosing wisely' culture. Focus on discussing unnecessary care with patients during office visits to build trust and improve care quality.
