[Choosing wisely recommendations in gastroenterology]

[Article in German]
H Koop et al. Internist (Berl). 2017 Jun.

Abstract

The Choosing wisely initiative of the German Society of Internal Medicine addresses procedures which are inadequately implemented (deficits in patient care) as well as those which are performed too often but without proven benefits for patients (misuse or overuse of health services). Based on their guidelines, The German Society of Gastroenterology, Digestive and Metabolic Diseases has identified such aspects and incorporated them into the respective recommendations.

Keywords: Colorectal neoplasms; Crohn disease; Gallstones; Health services misuse; Liver cirrhosis.
