The ABIM Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation established by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) in 1999 to advance medical professionalism to improve health care. ABIM Foundation project initiatives include the Choosing Wisely〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.abimfoundation.org/Initiatives/Choosing-Wisely.aspx )〕 educational campaign and ''The Physician Charter'', a document authored in partnership with the American College of Physicians and the European Federation of Internal Medicine. ==Programs and Initiatives== Physician Charter In 2002 the ABIM Foundation, along with the ACP Foundation and European Federation of Internal Medicine published Medical Professionalism in the New Millennium: A Physician Charter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=474090 )〕 Dr. Hal Sox, Editor of Annals of Internal Medicine remarked, “I hope that we will look back upon its publication as a watershed event in medicine.” The Physician Charter sets forth a series of professional principles and responsibilities that physician should seek to embody in their practice, including the principles of the primacy of patient welfare, patient autonomy, and social justice. The Physician Charter has been endorsed by more than 130 organizations, translated in to 12 languages, and 100,000 copies have been distributed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=474090 )〕 Choosing Wisely In 2012 the ABIM Foundation launched the Choosing Wisely campaign to “promote physician and patient conversations about making wise choices about treatments.” More than 70 US medical specialty societies are considered partners in the campaign and publish lists of tests, treatments or procedures they say are overused or unnecessary. The campaign has been covered widely by the media in the United States, including in the New York Times and Washington Post, as well as in academic publications such as JAMA and the New England Journal of Medicine. In 2013 the ABIM Foundation received a $2.5 million grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rwjf.org/en/grants/grantees/choosing-wisely.html )〕 to fund 23 projects in communities across the United States to implement components of the campaign, such as the Washington Health Alliance〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://wahealthalliance.org/alliance-reports-websites/choosing-wisely/ )〕 and Texas Medical Association.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.texmed.org/Template.aspx?id=27474 )〕 The ABIM Foundation received a second grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for $4.2 million to expand this work in 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rwjf.org/en/about-rwjf/newsroom/newsroom-content/2015/01/new--4-2-million-grant-program-to-support-health-care-organizati.html )〕 As of 2015 Choosing Wisely had been adopted by 12 countries, including Canada, Italy and Australia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://qualitysafety.bmj.com/content/early/2014/12/31/bmjqs-2014-003821 )〕 Understanding Medical Professionalism In 2014 the ABIM Foundation partnered with McGraw-Hill to publish Understanding Medical Professionalism.
