High Value Care Cases 1: Eliminating Health Care Waste
Learn the basic steps of ACP’s model for High Value Care in this activity. The first case focuses on how to better understand the benefits, harms, and relative costs of interventions and decreasing or eliminating the interventions that provide no benefits or may be harmful.

Hemochromatosis
Hemochromatosis is an inheritable condition that mainly affects White populations of European descent. Most patients remain asymptomatic, but others develop advanced organ damage that reduces quality of life and long-term survival. Arthropathy, diabetes mellitus, cirrhosis, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and cardiomyopathy are key clinical manifestations. Primary care and hospital medicine physicians play an essential role in early identification of this disease, which can be accomplished via standard hematologic testing.
Heat-Related Illnesses
Climate change is anticipated to continue to adversely affect public health, with heat stress the predominant threat. Accordingly, heat-related illness is predicted to increase as extremely hot days become more frequent. Heat stroke, the most serious heat-related illness, is a medical emergency that may be fatal if it is not promptly recognized, addressed with early and rapid cooling, and accompanied by multidisciplinary supportive care as clinically indicated.

Handoffs: Contingency Planning
Most trainees receive very little structured feedback on contingency planning and handoffs. This lack of feedback leads to varied quality of handoffs. There is evidence supporting the standardization of handoffs such as the NEJM trial where they provided education and standardized handoffs with I-PASS. There is little information about what to include in the patient summary sections and more specifically how to actually plan for contingencies.
