Healthcare bills in the United States contribute to over half of all personal bankruptcies, and unneeded care is a major driver. In low- and middle-income countries, the impact is even more severe. More healthcare isn’t always better medicine. In this episode, we look at the diagnostic cascade and the problem of medical overuse. Brent James helps us explore how overtesting and overdiagnosis compromise patient safety and drive healthcare waste, and how innovative systems pioneer clinical stewardship. Discover why less is more through shared decision-making and learn how we can start choosing wisely.
