This program will provide attendees with an overview of current research examining the use of low-value health services and opportunities for de-implementation in older adults. Learning Objectives: (1) describe the significance of low-value health service use among older adults and the downstream implications for health-related outcomes and costs; (2) identify examples of low-value healthcare services and testing among older adults along with potential contributors to these practices; (3) describe barriers to and facilitators of de-implementing low-value health service use in clinical practice for older adults; (4) design practical and scalable approaches to integrate de-implementation of low-value health services into real-world clinical practice.
