What is the purpose of "smarter medicine"?

 

Today, a great deal is possible in medicine. But not everything that is possible is actually useful in a specific case. According to the motto "Less is sometimes more", the non-profit association smarter medicine wants to draw attention to the issue of overuse and misuse in medicine. In order to raise awareness for good quality of treatment, a strong network of doctors, other health care professionals, patients and clients as well as decision-makers is needed to engage in a genuine dialogue. The association smarter medicine - Choosing Wisely Switzerland wants to contribute to this.
