Evaluation of the German living guideline “Protection against the Overuse and Underuse of Health Care” – an online survey among German GPs
Although the guideline is seen as a useful tool in mitigating medical overuse, there is still further potential for its implementation and utilisation. GPs see more overuse in the inpatient and outpatient specialist areas than in their area of practice. Instead of self-critically approaching the problem, the proposed strategies are aimed at the healthcare system itself.
