Spanish to English translations [PRO] Medical - Medical: Health Care / Epidemiología
Spanish term or phrase:sobreprestación
Buenas tardes. La palabra sobreprestación en el siguiente contexto implica que se pedirán más estudios de los necesarios. Quisiera saber si hay una palabra equivalente en inglés.
Sin embargo, una cantidad excesiva de cardiólogos entrenados en estas subespecialidades podría generar una sobreoferta peligrosa capaz de fomentar la **sobreprestación**, la caída del ingreso y la insatisfacción con la profesión.

To Richard, Michael and Liz: I think the three of you are right. According to the references I understand that both terms mean the same, although Liz seems to be reluctant to accept overtreatment.
Thus, I'll wait and choose the most voted answer between these two.

Why Does Health Care Cost So Much? (By Shannon Brownlee, July & August 2008)

MRI Scans as Overtreatment
... As Dr. Seema Khan, director of the program for early detection and prevention of breast cancer at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, is quoted as saying on Orac’s blog, "there's a huge question of whether we're being led down a path of overtreatment by routinely using MRI.” As is so often the case in American medicine, the emergence of a new technology has briskly outpaced our knowledge of how to best utilize it—and of its associated risks.

Let's face it - overtreatment and even unnecessary treatment do exist. The vast majority of dentists strive to provide the best treatment possible. But like any profession, dentistry has its bad apples.

An Epidemic of Overtreatment
This blog entry was co-authored with Rich Parker MD, Assistant Professor, Internal Medicine, Healthcare Associates.
Healthcare costs in the US are approaching 17% of the GDP and may be as high as 20% in the next few years. What is causing the US to have the highest cost and lowest value for the healthcare dollar? Simple - it's overtreatment.
Overtreatment takes many forms - from over ordering expensive diagnostic tests to the prescribing of expensive and sometimes unneeded therapeutics.
