5.24.2018 KM 20 G What qualifies as an overuse or inappropriateness issue?

KM 20 G requires evidence-based guidelines on appropriate use of services, which could include a prompt at the point of care to consider appropriateness of laboratory test ordering, avoidance of MRI as a first-line diagnostic test for back pain, appropriateness of antibiotics use, or appropriateness of specific referrals. 

NCQA encourages practices to look at ABIM’s Choosing Wisely website for more information on overuse/appropriateness (www.choosingwisely.org).
