Low-cost diagnostic technologies and clinical outcomes. The impact of inappropriate utilization.

S Lewis, J Foreman.   

Abstract

Commodification of low-cost diagnostic technologies (LCDTs) carries the risk of an unintended and potentially worrisome shift in how we conceive of health assessment. Optimizing practice requires a balanced understanding of both the beneficial and harmful impact of the use of LCDTs and the development of system incentives for appropriate use.
