Pleased to share our work in @JAMAInternalMed that shows criteria-based initially reduced vitamin D testing. testing has increased to baseline since. Further efforts are needed to promote stewardly ordering @Michael_Hillmer @JonZipursky @ONThealth @Sunnybrook @UofT_DoM

Implementing criteria-based testing for vitamin D in Ontario reduced testing initially, but the volume of tests returned to pre-policy levels over the following 14 years. #SGIM25 ja.ma/42Uo9ib @WKSilverstein @JonZipursky
