DESCRIPTION
Choosing Wisely and similar campaigns have provided over 550 recommendations to avoid the use of tests and treatments that do not benefit patients. For those interested in reducing low-value care, how to choose which of these recommendations to support with active de-implementation efforts can be difficult. In this session, we will discuss the levels of evidence most conducive to de-implementation efforts, review measurement of low-value practice to identify de-implementation opportunities and discuss the practical contextual factors that support or hinder de-implementation efforts.
