“While we ultimately decided on a winner, all of the competitors were winners in my book,” said John Held, APR, of the ABIM Foundation, who helped to judge the competition. “It was inspiring to see how each of the presenters used Choosing Wisely to address a pressing issue facing their institution and the overwhelmingly positive results of the intervention. ASNC's Choosing Wisely Challenge is a shining example of how clinicians are implementing the ideals of the campaign in practice.”
