Healthcare Policy

Dr. Levinson has worked on healthcare policy reforms in Canada. In 2014, she launched a campaign called Choosing Wisely Canada, a campaign to reduce unnecessary use of health care.[7] Choosing Wisely partnered with the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) to produce a report, dubbed Unnecessary Care in Canada.[8][9] At CIHI, researchers focused on eight of the more than 200 recommendations compiled by Levinson's group, and found that over one million unnecessary medical tests are administered every year province by province across Canada.[8] Levinson called the findings the first national picture of unnecessary care.[8] Dr. Levinson said unnecessary care creeps into the health-care system for a slew of reasons and knowing how provinces differ regarding unnecessary tests and treatments is the first step in making improvements.[9]

Honours

In 2013, she was awarded the Canadian Medical Association's May Cohen Award for Women Mentors.[10] In 2014, she was made an Officer of the Order of Canada "for her contributions to promoting effective communication between physicians and patients, as well as for her sustained leadership in academic medicine".[11]
