Unnecessary tests, treatments, and procedures can lead to a cascade of follow-up appointments, referrals, and, at times, unintended harm. These downstream consequences are rarely discussed but can significantly impact patients. 

Join Choosing Wisely Talks on October 30 at 12 p.m. ET during Canadian Patient Safety Week for a conversation on reducing the hidden harms of overuse. Speakers will highlight personal experiences illustrating the impact of overuse and present strategies for improving patient safety.

Speakers:

• Dr. Shannon Ruzycki, General Internist and Assistant Professor, University of Calgary
• D’Arcy Duquette, Patient Partner, De-Implementation Research, Choosing Wisely Canada
