The abstract reports a methodological progress note on de-implementing low-value care by Kripalani and Norton. Low-value care refers to medical tests, treatments, or interventions that provide no net benefit to patients or even cause harm. The authors highlight the importance of understanding and addressing factors that drive the persistence of low-value care. They propose a conceptual framework that identifies drivers of low-value care at multiple levels, including the patient, provider, organizational, and policy levels. The authors also discuss potential interventions to de-implement low-value care, such as provider education, clinical decision support, and payment reforms. They call for further research to identify effective strategies to reduce low-value care and improve healthcare quality and value. The abstract highlights the importance of addressing low-value care to improve healthcare outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
