Available IHBR Services:

 

• Help to create a comprehensive program that helps organizations enhance shared decision making, reduce overtreatment, and reduce the cost of medical care.  This can be accomplished by the purchase of books, the creation of custom BRCTs, and instructional meetings with appropriate parties.

 

• Make presentations to: medical students; hospital administrators; nurses; health insurance and pharmaceutical companies; and the media; regarding the interpretation of health benefits and risks and ways to avoid overtreatment.
