Effectiveness of a pneumonia clinical pathway: quality and financial outcomes.
In today's health care environment, it is imperative to evaluate planned changes within a health care system. We report the outcomes of a study on the effectiveness of a pneumonia clinical pathway. Important elements of effectiveness studies are discussed and used in presenting study findings. These findings are a preliminary demonstration that clinical pathways can improve patient and process outcomes. Their relation to financial outcomes is less clear.
