Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the underlying causes of low-value medical behaviors for tumor from the decision-making perspectives of both physicians and patients,and propose targeted intervention strategies to mitigate the incidence of low-value medical decisions in tumor.Methods:The theories and methods of behavioral economics are applied to investigate how cognitive and behavioral biases between physicians and patients contribute to irrational medical decisions in low-value medical decision-making.Additionally,a low-value medical decision-making model is developed from the perspective of both physicians and patients.Results:Physicians may be influenced by behavioral economic theories such as loss aversion,availability heuristic,and framing effects during the decision-making process,leading to deviations from optimal rationality.Patients with tumor or their families,constrained by bounded rationality,often lack adequate treatment information and prioritize short-term survival extension as a primary decision anchor,thereby exacerbating the prevalence of low-value medical decisions.Conclusion:Interventions targeting both physicians and patients should focus on enhancing incentive mechanisms,promoting information sharing,correcting behavioral biases,and providing decision support tools to reduce the occurrence of low-value treatment decisions in tumor care.
