Incorporating value-based healthcare projects in residency training: a mixed-methods study on the impact of participation on understanding and competency development
Abstract:ObjectivesStimulating the active participation of residents in projects with societally relevant healthcare themes, such as value-based healthcare (VBHC), can be a strategy to enhance competency development. Canadian Medical Education Directions for Specialists (CanMEDS) competencies such as leader and scholar are important skills for all doctors. In this study, we hypothesise that when residents conduct a VBHC project, CanMEDS competencies are developed. There is the added value of gaining knowledge about VBH… Show more
“…The factors influencing healthcare professionals are closely tied to their beliefs, knowledge, and skills [47]. It is crucial to acknowledge that clinicians often encounter challenges in staying updated with scientific literature and may be influenced by habits acquired during their medical training, which typically prioritizes diagnosis over "do nothing" [48][49][50]. Therefore, resident training presents a critical opportunity to introduce the concept of high-value care, as behaviors learned during this period tend to persist throughout one's professional career [49].…”

“…Although some medical schools have integrated healthcare economics content into their curricula, many physicians still have significant knowledge gaps in these areas. Training programs frequently overlook resource management and cost-conscious practices, essential elements for promoting more efficient, evidence-based healthcare [50].…”

In this chapter, the routine application of thyroid function tests for hypothyroidism detection is evaluated, with a focus on the problems of overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment, especially in subclinical scenarios. It critically assesses the lack of solid evidence behind common interventions, like the widespread prescription of levothyroxine without definitive clinical need. Highlighting evidence-based guidelines for hypothyroidism screening, the chapter argues against indiscriminate thyroid testing. It advocates for a thoughtful approach to thyroid disorder management, urging cautious use of TSH tests to reduce needless medical actions and improve patient outcomes.
