The goal of the report is to help clinicians and policy makers ensure that limited health system resources are focused on providing necessary care and treatments that will improve the wellbeing of patients.Read Using Health Care Resources Wisely After the COVID-19 Pandemic: Recommendations to Reduce Low-Value Care in the Canadian Journal of Health Technologies, Volume 1, Number 5.
