Interventions to reduce low-value care in intensive care settings: a scoping review of impacts on health, resource use, costs, and the environment

We aimed to identify, collate, and summarise published evidence on the impacts of interventions to reduce low-value care in intensive care units (ICUs). Multiple evidence-based interventions may reduce low-value care in ICUs with important health, financial, and environmental co-benefits. Further research may inform wider scale-up and sustainability of successful strategies to decrease low-value healthcare. More empirical evidence on potential environmental benefits may inform policies to lower healthcare’s carbon footprint.
