Dr. Carlos Irwin Oronce, member of our UCLA National Clinician Scholars Program, received the Best Published Research Paper of the Year Award from the Society for General Internal Medicine.  His manuscript: https://bit.ly/3tNpJ42 demonstrated that the use of low value care (that offer no net benefit in specific clinical scenarios as defined by the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), with a Grade D recommendation), cost nearly $480 million dollars in Medicare costs in the 10-years between 2007 and 2016.
