Diagnostic stewardship aims to improve the effectiveness of diagnostic testing through collaborative activities, with a focus on long-term measurement of diagnostic effectiveness.
Diagnostic stewardship aims to deliver the right test to the right patient at the right time and is optimally combined with antimicrobial stewardship to allow for the right interpretation to translate into the right antimicrobial at the right time. Laboratorians, physicians, pharmacists, and other healthcare providers have an opportunity to improve the effectiveness of diagnostics through collaborative activities around pre-analytical and post-analytical periods of diagnostic testing. Additionally, special considerations should be given to measuring the effectiveness of diagnostics over time. Herein, we perform a narrative review of the literature on these potential optimization opportunities and the temporal factors that can yield changes in diagnostic effectiveness. Our objective is to inform on these considerations to ensure enhanced value through improved implementation and measurement of effectiveness for local stakeholder metrics and/or clinical outcomes research.
