Comparing the rates of low-value back images ordered by physicians and nurse practitioners for Medicare beneficiaries in primary care

@dr_dmorgan @BenMazer @DKorenstein @ldscherer @AndrewFoy82 @LeykumLuci Interesting. Using Medicare claims, we found that NPs & MDs order low-value back imaging at similar rates. https://t.co/p5DRsOveHg

@la_kops @OHSU_APPs @OHSUNursing @OHSU_WAHM @AANP_NEWS @brucejapsen @NPsOregon Another myth buster: NPs and MDs over-test at the same rate. https://t.co/TV2BysGN1F

@md_mirani @np_chat Our research shows that NPs & MDs order low-value images for back pain at the same rate. Would love to see other studies in this area. (See the paper for a lit review on imaging use). https://t.co/4lrnGxtOS5
