Re-Think the Strip: de-implementing a low value practice in primary care
De-implementation strategies are feasible in primary care practices. Although prescriptions for SMBG decreased in intervention practices, they also decreased in the comparison practices. Newly diagnosed patients or new patients may be more receptive to de-implementation. Other factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic and baseline prescribing rates may have limited the effectiveness of the RTS de-implementation strategy.
