Abstract:

Clinical practice variation is a well-described phenomenon in which patients with similar diagnoses, prognoses and demographic status receive different levels of care depending on when, and by whom they are treated, despite agreed and documented evidence of “best practice”. Overuse of health resources is also known to be harmful. Unfortunately, both phenomena occur in several countries, particularly in developed countries. Considering this, the American Board of Internal Medicine launched the Choosing Wisely campaign, which has since been implemented in several countries, including Portugal.
