Health Dialog was built in collaboration with the not-for-profit Foundation for Informed Medical Decision Making (FIMDM) to address unwarranted variation in healthcare. Unwarranted variation is the subject of more than 30 years of objective, peer-reviewed research by Drs. John and David Wennberg and their colleagues at the Dartmouth Institute.
