How this list was created

All the society members were informed of this initiative by means of a document describing its intention. Members were then asked to present some indications with the aim of choosing the five treatments and procedures that were most at risk of inappropriateness, that is the five that received the highest number of indications. Following that, the board of directors created a document based on these five procedures, which was subsequently presented at the 31st SINePe National Congress, held in Vieste in 2015, in order to ensure full cooperation. The document was then sent to all the society members for their approval. The critical comments and positive notes were taken on board and the final version of the text was produced and sent to Slow Medicine.
