Klinische Behandlungspfade - Ein Instrument zur Qualitätssteigerung im Krankenhaus

Abstract

despite the good intentions of all involved persons – some potential stumbling opposition that should be taken into account. The development of critical pathways requires a complex procedure, getting the involved professional groups to redesign their daily work and to define a common process of care with quality objectives that are to be assessed on a daily basis. As a result, the involved professionals and the patients can rely on clear and transparent descriptions of the treatment process.
