Una Recomendación de No Hacer es una indicación de abandonar una práctica clínica de escaso valor. El escaso valor lo determina el hecho de que la práctica no reporte ningún beneficio conocido para los pacientes y/o les ponga en riesgo de sufrir daños y además pueda suponer un derroche de recursos, sanitarios y/o sociales.
Las Recomendaciones de NO Hacer incluidas en el Catálogo son las que cumplen todos estos criterios.
