Is an antibiotic the right treatment? Is an oral anticoagulant needed? What’s the best next step when a lab test shows low glucose?

Decisions like these are common in clinical settings, and they can significantly impact patient care and your organization. In fact, these types of decisions have proven to be major contributors to unwarranted care variation, which impacts patient outcomes while driving costs ever higher.

It’s built from the unparalleled, deep domain expertise of the editorial team to address common drivers of unwarranted care variability.
