How this list was created
By joining the Slow Medicine® program, FADOI was asked to contribute 10 recommendations. At the beginning of 2014, the FADOI National Board of Directors commissioned two of its members to develop a questionnaire containing a selection of recommendations already published by Choosing Wisely® (270 from 51 professional societies as of February 2014). In March 2014, a list of 32 recommendations was sent to 1,175 FADOI members from 6 different regions according to a presentation order that mirrored that of publication by Choosing Wisely®. Each member was asked to indicate the 5 recommendations considered most relevant to their medical practice. The response rate was 18.1% (213, for a total of 1,037 recommendations). This method was chosen to encourage dissemination and participation. The resulting “top ten” list reflects the qualified opinion of a large number of FADOI members: this sheet contains the last 5. All recommendations were reviewed in April 2024.
