Determinants for the use and de-implementation of low-value care in health care: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A considerable proportion of interventions provided to patients lack evidence of their effectiveness. This implies that patients may receive ineffective, unnecessary or even harmful care. However, despite some empirical studies in the field, there has been no synthesis of determinants impacting the use of low-value care (LVC) and the process of de-implementing LVC.

Aim

The aim was to identify determinants influencing the use of LVC, as well as determinants for de-implementation of LVC practices in health care.

Methods

A scoping review was performed based on the framework by Arksey and O'Malley. We searched four scientific databases, conducted snowball searches of relevant articles and hand searched the journal Implementation Science for peer-reviewed journa
