These include (direct and indirect) patient harms, unnecessary workload for hard pressed healthcare professionals, wasted healthcare resources and negative impacts on the climate. Low-value care may relate to both overdiagnosis and overtreatment. We are faced with major challenges such as demographic changes in societies globally with an increase in the elderly who often require healthcare, advances in biomedical discoveries that offer new therapeutic opportunities (but nearly always at increased costs) and human health resources challenges.
