De-implementation is defined as the process of discontinuing, removing, reducing, or replacing a harmful, ineffective, or low-value clinical practice or intervention. The goal of de-implementation strategies is to minimize patient harm, maximize use of resources, and reduce healthcare costs and inequities. Both antibiotic and diagnostic stewardship programs focus on reducing low-value interventions (tests or antimicrobials). Stewardship interventions commonly involve de-implementation and deprescribing strategies. This commentary explores unique aspects of deimplementing low-value testing and unnecessary antimicrobial use, similarities between de-implementation and stewardship approaches, multilevel factors that impact de-implementation, and opportunities for future research.
去实施被定义为停止、消除、减少或取代有害、无效或低价值临床实践或干预措施的过程。去实施策略的目标是将患者伤害降至最低,最大限度地利用资源,并降低医疗成本和不公平现象。抗生素管理计划和诊断管理计划都侧重于减少低价值干预措施(检查或抗菌药物)。管理干预措施通常涉及去实施和停用药物策略。本评论探讨了取消低价值检查和不必要使用抗菌药物的独特方面、去实施与管理方法之间的相似之处、影响去实施的多层次因素以及未来研究的机会。
