Choosing Wisely ‘Lists’
• Medical socie=es create 5-‐item lists of tests or procedures that physicians and pa=ents should ques=on – ‘things to ques=on’ are within the society’s clinical domain
– Done frequently in prac=ce and incur real costs – Evidence-‐based recommenda=ons

April 2012 – 9 socie=es released lists

Campaign Gains Momentum
• February 2013 – 17 addi=onal socie=es released lists in ‘phase 2’ of the campaign
![Page 8: ChoosingWisely(( in(Medical(Toxicology( · 2015-04-30 · ChoosingWisely((in(Medical(Toxicology(Anne4Michelle(Ruha,(MD(American(College(of(Medical(Toxicology(Annual(Scien=fic(Mee=ng(March(2015](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022041707/5e45b8af448aa55aee7560b6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Where do ACMT / AACT fit in? • The Choosing Wisely Campaign is about encouraging physician/pa=ent conversa=ons regarding what care is really necessary
• ACMT/AACT wish to improve the approach to and care of pa=ents and the public with poisoning concerns
• How do ACMT/AACT par8cipate in order to expand our outreach to the medical community and the public?

ACMT/AACT List #1
• The ACMT BOD established a Work Group in March 2013 to create a list of 5 tests or procedures that should be recommended against
• Deadline for list submission was May, giving us a very short =me to develop the list

Crea=ng List 2
• What toxicology tests and procedures (or treatments) exist?
– from the perspec=ve of a medical toxicologist?
– from ‘other’ medical and non-‐medical perspec=ves?
![Page 12: ChoosingWisely(( in(Medical(Toxicology( · 2015-04-30 · ChoosingWisely((in(Medical(Toxicology(Anne4Michelle(Ruha,(MD(American(College(of(Medical(Toxicology(Annual(Scien=fic(Mee=ng(March(2015](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022041707/5e45b8af448aa55aee7560b6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
lidle tox world: common ‘toxicology’ tests and procedures/treatments
• Drug levels: asa, dig, TCA, apap, lithium, etc… • Tests for metals, cholinesterase levels….
• Radiology: xrays, CTs (not much tox-‐specific)
• Procedures: (not much tox-‐specific)
• An=dote administra=on: methylene blue, hydroxocobalamin, bicarb, etc…
• Other treatments: chela=on, hyperbaric oxygen, etc…

Broader view: common ‘toxicology’ tests and procedures/treatments
• (Unvalidated) tes=ng for ‘mold toxicity’ • (Unvalidated) tes=ng for chemical and environmental insensi=vi=es
• Generalized hair, nail, urine, blood tes=ng for a wide range of ‘toxins’
• ‘Detoxifica=on’ therapies • Herbal remedies

Addressing ‘alterna=ve’ prac=ce?
• What is the point in crea=ng list ‘items’ that address non-‐mainstream prac=ces?
o Many ‘MDs’ who are hugely influen=al promote non-‐scien=fic toxicology tests and treatments o Creates confusion for pa=ents o Busy physicians also confused – don’t
have =me to research each tox concern

ACMT/AACT List Development
• Work Group created a preliminary list of items which was sent to the membership for feedback and sugges=ons
• Leaders within the field were also directly contacted for their input
• September 2013 – ACMT and AACT released a list, joining 30 other medical socie=es at the =me

ACMT/AACT Work Group
• Opportunity for greater outreach
• Developed a 2nd preliminary list of items for considera=on
• Sent these via survey to the memberships for feedback and sugges=ons for addi=onal items

Med Tox Community – Specific Items
• Tend to be controversial among our members – Examples:
• Don’t order rou=ne salicylate screening in overdose pa=ents • Don’t order rou=ne urine drug screens in overdose pa=ents • Don’t order rou=ne head CTs in pa=ents with clear history or evidence of drug overdose

An Item We Agreed On -‐ Twice
• Do not discourage vaccina=on based on concern that the mercury or other vaccine components cause au=sm spectrum disorders – Our members really liked this item – both in 2013 and 2014
– We submided it twice
– Did not fit the goal of the Campaign, which is to do LESS, not more
