Pathology stewardship aims to influence the process of ordering, performing, and reporting diagnostic tests to improve patient care and reduce waste. The diagnostic stewardship approaches with the highest reported success rates include computerized clinical decision support interventions and real-time evaluations. Unnecessary repeat testing is a good target for diagnostic stewardship. We describe the financial and environmental cost savings of our customized electronic duplicate order alerts and demonstrate that well-designed alerts can remain highly impactful for years after implementation.
