Diagnostic Overtreatment

Diagnostic Overtreatment is a clinical practice in which excessive or unnecessary diagnostic procedures are performed on patients, distinguished by the application of redundant or unwarranted tests that do not improve health outcomes and may lead to patient harm, particularly prevalent in ageist healthcare contexts where older adults are either over- or under-served based on age-related stereotypes.
