Resumen: La actividad médica despliega un conjunto de competencias encaminadas a mejorar el estado de salud de las personas. En este camino se realizan diagnósticos, se hacen elecciones de pruebas y tratamientos y se toman decisiones sobre hacer y no hacer que afectan a la vida de los pacientes. En este artículo, proponemos una reflexión ante el sobrediagnóstico y sobretratamiento en relación con los factores que lo promueven y el impacto que tienen en la sociedad, en el funcionamiento del sistema sanitario y también directamente en los pacientes. Finalmente, realizamos unas propuestas de cómo redirigir este exceso considerando que la atención primaria es un lugar privilegiado para actuar en adecuar y minimizar el impacto de las actuaciones del sistema sanitario en la salud de los ciudadanos y reducir los incidentes de seguridad del paciente ligados al sobrediagnóstico y al uso inadecuado de pruebas y tratamientos que no aportan valor a la salud de los pacientes.

Finally, we make some proposals on how to address this overuse considering that primary care is a privileged place to adapt and minimize the impact of the actions of the health system on the health of citizens and reduce the incidents of patient safety linked to the overdiagnosis and inappropriate use of tests and treatments that do not add value to the health of patients.
