ACP, Annals, Consumer Reports collaborate on high value care resources

ACP and Annals of Internal Medicine are collaborating with Consumer Reports to create a series of High Value Care resources to help patients understand the benefits, harms and costs of tests and treatments for common clinical issues. The resources, derived from ACP's evidence-based clinical practice recommendations published in Annals of Internal Medicine, support the College's High Value, Cost-Conscious Care Initiative. Two patient brochures about diagnostic imaging for low back pain and oral medication for type 2 diabetes are the initial resources released in the collaboration and are available in both English and Spanish, and more resources will be developed in the future. More information on the collaboration is available online.
