Doctors more likely to call out others’ low-value care than their own
Patients might not be getting the best advice about which treatments do or don’t work, according to our study.
We found professional societies are more likely to call out other health professionals for providing low-value treatments rather than look in their own backyard.
Our study in BMC Health Services Research looked into recommendations under the global Choosing Wisely public health campaign.
We found professional societies are reluctant to publish recommendations against treatments and procedures that generate income for their members.
