"If a service is truly low-value care (and its absence will have)
minimal or no negative effects on health or quality of care ... steps
should be taken to ensure it’s not reintroduced into the system or, at
minimum, its use should be reduced." -Corinna Sorenson, Ph.D., M.H.S.A., M.P.H., Assistant Professor of Population Health sciences, Duke University School of Medicine. |
