Developing the PedsValue Modules—A National Pediatric High Value Care Curriculum

Development and Evaluation of High-Value Pediatrics: A High-Value Care Pediatric Resident Curriculum

“…Necessary educational resources are available through journal sections on value, 17,18 Choosing Wisely resources, 19 and various other HVC curricula. [20][21][22][23] Despite these resources, data reveal that only 10% of pediatric program directors and 15% of internal medicine residency programs report having a formal curriculum on HVC. 24,25 In a survey of pediatric residency programs, respondents identified the largest barrier to HVC as a lack of cost transparency.…”

Applying High-Value Care Principles in a Pediatric Case: A Workshop for Health Professions Students

“…12,13 Educational interventions on HVC have been successful at increasing physician awareness of medical costs. [14][15][16][17][18] It has been suggested, in fact, that physician education regarding cost-conscious care and overuse or misuse of diagnostic testing become an additional ACGME general competency for physicians-intraining. 9,19 Studies have shown that physicians and trainees have a poor understanding of pharmaceutical and diagnostic testing costs.…”

2017 Update on Pediatric Medical Overuse

“…1 In collaboration with the American College of Physicians, a group of pediatrician educators recently released a National Pediatric High Value Care Curriculum. 2 Following the "Less is More" and "Too Much Medicine" series at JAMA Internal Medicine and BMJ, respectively, another pediatric journal has started a similar series titled "Bending the Value Curve." 3 Rigorous science must provide the foundation for these efforts to raise awareness of pediatric overuse, defined as the provision of health care for which net benefits do not exceed net harms.…”
