The objective of this K23 grant is to develop, validate, and apply a metric that will characterize specific low-value prescribing (LVP) practices using administrative data and reflect the perspectives of patients, prescribers, and payers as they relate to healthcare value. Dr. Walid Gellad is the Primary Mentor for this project, and RAND and Pitt faculty will serve as collaborators.
