Medicare patients of general internists with higher Longitudinal Knowledge Assessment scores were significantly less likely to receive low-value services, underscoring the role of physician knowledge in reducing unnecessary care. ja.ma/4AecLMF
Bar-and-Whisker Plot: Patients receiving low-value services if internists matched top-quartile physicians. X-axis: Beneficiaries (No.), Y-axis: Medical Services. Shows potential reduction in beneficiaries for most low-value services, with largest for Total/free T3 testing and Prostate-specific antigen testing, decreasing by tens of thousands.
