- Understand the common phenomenon of the “cascade of care” – a succession of medical services triggered by an index medical test or treatment that is often fueled by the desire to avoid even the smallest risk of a serious condition.
- Review the literature to date about prevalence and impact of these cascades, their underlying drivers, and how to mitigate them
- Reflect on our own practice and approach to cascades.
