Specifying behavioural and strategy components of de-implementation efforts targeting low-value prescribing practices in secondary health care.

ABSTRACT:

Background

/Aims De-implementation, including the removal or reduction of unnecessary or inappropriate prescribing, is crucial to ensure patients receive appropriate evidence-based health care. The utilization of de-implementation efforts is contingent on the quality of strategy reporting. To further understand effective ways to de-implement medical practices, specification of behavioural targets and components of de-implementation strategies are required. This paper aims to critically analyse how well the behavioural targets and strategy components, in studies that focused on de-implementing unnecessary or inappropriate prescribing in secondary healthcare settings, were reported.

Methods

A supplementary analysis of studies included in a recently published review of de-imple
