Clinical Stewardship

Meaning

The ethical and professional responsibility to ensure that all clinical decisions, diagnostic procedures, and therapeutic interventions within a health and wellness program are evidence-based, necessary, and align with the highest standards of patient safety and clinical utility. This oversight is particularly critical in the hormonal health space to prevent the misuse of powerful endocrine modulators or unnecessary testing. Clinical stewardship requires continuous evaluation of practice patterns to optimize patient outcomes while conserving resources. It is a commitment to responsible, patient-centered care.
