In spring 2015, the ABIM Foundation—with continued funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)—awarded a second round of grants to organizations that promote the goals of the Choosing Wisely campaign.
These new grants support seven initiatives focused on reducing utilization of unnecessary tests and treatments. Each initiative includes delivery systems, hospitals and/or medical groups working in collaboration with multi-stakeholder community-based groups and physician-led organizations.
