A Library of Evidence has now been launched, a free, publicly accessible online resource to help clinicians choose the most appropriate imaging tests based on the best available research evidence. The resource is designed to avert unnecessary imaging and contain rising health care costs associated with this practice. The Library debuts on the eve of a new federal law that mandates the use of evidence-based decision-support systems by clinicians caring for federally insured patients. Over time, the Library will expand to include other domains of clinical decision-making, such as choosing appropriate medications or ordering other tests and procedures.
