Despite Choosing Wisely Canada recommendations, pre-operative tests like chest x-rays and electrocardiographs are frequently ordered for patients undergoing low-risk surgeries. This can result in further unnecessary testing and overall health care waste.

Yamile Jasaui, Research Associate at the Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary will also describe a future trial to reduce pre-operative test ordering in the province.
