The Choosing Wisely campaign will publish information from this society in late February 2013. Before then, there is no available information available except that this society is participating in the campaign and intends to share five ideas which its members have chosen as important for doctors and patients to discuss.

This project shares information from the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine on Wikipedia.
