Abstract:

The de-implementation of low-value care(LVC) refers to the elimination of ineffective or inefficient care services by removing,replacing,reducing,or limiting. ICU patients are critically ill,so it is important to implement efficient and safe treatment and care. The de-implementation of LVC is conducive to promoting ICU management and quality improvement,saving economic costs and reducing work burden. This article aims to provide a reference for ICU quality improvement and nursing management in China by reviewing the concept of LVC de-implementation science,the “Choosing Wisely” in the field of critical care and related research,the ICU reform strategy,and the thinking on LVC de-implementation.In the future,further research should be conducted in formulating a list of LVC services in ICUs suitable for China and developing decision-making tools for evaluating LVC services in ICUs.
