“…Designing initiatives to reduce LVC and improve decision making should be planned following behavioural sciences approach, like behavioural economics (i.e., Nudge), that emphasise the importance of the stakeholders’ perspectives (i.e., public, patients and clinicians) to redesign systems to facilitate higher-value care [65,66 ▪▪ ,67 ▪ ].…”

“…Different settings might require different techniques and these teams can use multiple expertise to help to identify the optimal targets to act on, design implementation process, get stakeholders alignment and evaluate the impact. The spread of these type of units and their know-how may have a high impact the perioperative LVC reduction [67 ▪ ].…”

Purpose of the review Highlight sources of low-value care (LVC) during the perioperative period help understanding the decision making behind its persistence, the barriers for change, and the potential implementation strategies to reduce it. Recent findings The behavioural economics science spread of use through aligned strategies or nudge units offer an opportunity to improve success in the LVC reduction. Summary LVC, such as unneeded surgeries, or preanaesthesia tests for low-risk surgeries in low-risk patients, is a relevant source of waste and preventable harm, most especially in the perioperative period. Despite the international focus on it, initial efforts to reduce it in the last decade have not clearly shown a sustainable improvement. Understanding the shared decision-making process and the barriers to be expected when tackling LVC is the first step to build the change. Applying a structured strategy based on the behavioural science principles may be the path to increasing high value care in an effective an efficient way. It is time to foster nudge units at different healthcare system levels.

“…Research has shown that social norms can significantly influence individuals' economic behavior, such as their propensity to save, invest and engage in entrepreneurial activities [19]. For example, research shows that cultural norms that emphasize long-term planning and saving for the future can result in higher savings rates in certain societies [20].…”

This research study aims to explore the influence of social norms and cultural factors on economic decision-making in West Java. By examining the prevalence of social norms, the role of cultural factors, and the alignment of economic behavior with societal expectations, this study highlights the dynamics of economic decision-making in the region. The study utilized a mixed-methods approach, combining a quantitative survey and qualitative interviews to collect data from 400 participants in West Java. The findings of this study highlight the importance of social norms in guiding economic behavior, the influence of cultural factors such as religious beliefs and traditional values, and the challenges and deviations that individuals face in complying with social norms. The results of this study contribute to the existing literature on social norms, cultural factors and economic decision-making, and provide valuable insights for policymakers, businesses and practitioners seeking to promote sustainable economic practices in West Java.
