New research about overtreatment in US healthcare published in PLOS One cited a study from The American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC®) as a reference. “Cervical Cancer Screening Overuse and Underuse: Patient and Physician Factors,” published in the June 2013 issue of AJMC®, found that overuse of these tests is common and can be linked to patient and clinician factors. The AJMC® newsroom recently featured an article covering the findings of the PLOS One study on unnecessary medical care.
