When fewer duplicate tests leave the workload unchanged

Suppose a service removes a duplicate laboratory test it has judged low value, but requests for a different test increase afterward. The original test count falls, while total testing stays unchanged. Why would that replacement weaken a claim of successful de-implementation if the replacement could serve a different, justified purpose? I’m trying to distinguish evidence that work has shifted from evidence that low-value care has persisted.

What must survive a registry adaptation?

Suppose a patient-reported measure moves from a waiting-room tablet to a phone link completed at home. What concrete example would show which component preserves the intended mechanism, while the collection channel can change locally? I am looking for the decision rule in that example: what evidence would make the channel an acceptable adaptation, and what change would instead alter the intervention itself?

Preserving the mechanism during registry adaptation

When patient reported measures are adapted across clinical registries, which mechanism must remain intact, and which collection or delivery details can vary locally?
