Authors' recommendations:
Detecting and eliminating potentially obsolete health technologies is a complex process that requires input from all relevant stakeholders, including the public. In addition to the lack of any standard definition of disinvestment, there are also inconsistencies in the terms used to depict disinvestment-type activities.
This review shows that little research has been done to find the best ways of involving the public in making healthcare decisions as regards to disinvestment. There was no strong evidence to suggest that any of the frameworks identified could be considered a best practice model. Most of the articles reported that more effort is needed to enable the public to develop and express informed views, and consequently to incorporate
these views when making disinvestment decisions.
