Preparing Trainees to Deliver High-Value and Cost-Conscious Care in Hematology

AbstractPurpose of ReviewDespite national-level directives to reduce healthcare waste and promote high-value care (HVC), clinical educators struggle to equip trainees with the knowledge and skills needed to practice value-based care. In this review, we analyze ongoing efforts in graduate medical education (GME) to enhance trainee competence in delivery of high-value and cost-conscious care.Recent FindingsSurveys of residents and program directors have shown that while many training programs want to offer formal training in high-value care delivery, few succeed. Although several studies suggest that trainees model stewardship behaviors after clinical preceptors, there remains a shortage of faculty role models skilled in providing HVC.SummaryPreparing future hematologist –oncologists to provide cost-conscious care will require significant cultural change at the institutional and program levels and will depend heavily on the development of skilled clinical role models.
