摘要

The enormous cost of health care in the United States has inspired new efforts to assess the true value of commonly provided services. Carrie Colla, Scott Halpern, and Bruce Landon discuss decision making regarding low-value care in a video roundtable moderated by Atul Gawande. The enormous cost of health care in the United States, driven in part by the fee-for-service payment system, has inspired new efforts to assess the true value of commonly provided services.

Carrie Colla, Scott Halpern, and Bruce Landon discuss decision making regarding low-value care in a video roundtable moderated by Atul Gawande.
