: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a critical path analysis, used as a management tool, on the efficiency of clinical service delivery for patients with a fractured neck of femur. It is a before‐and‐after study of the medical records of all patients admitted between October 1992 and October 1993 with a primary diagnosis of fractured neck of femur, but excluding patients under 50 years old and those with multiple fractures or metastatic disease. Patients fell into two groups: those admitted in the six months before the introduction of a clinical management program based on a critical path analysis, and those admitted after the introduction of the program in April 1993 (88 program cases and 90 nonprogram cases). A medical records administrator blinded to the program category of the patients independently coded diagnostic data, while other data were abstracted from the clinical notes. The length of stay for a fractured neck of femur declined from a mean of 19.3 days to a mean of 11.0 days (P < 0.0001). The outcome measures were: the distance walked just before discharge from hospital, the discharge destination, and unplanned readmission. These did not change significantly, and the wound infection rate declined during the period of the intervention. The implementation of a clinical management pathway based on a critical path analysis dramatically reduced the length of stay for patients admitted with a fractured neck of femur while maintaining quality of outcomes. Critical path analysis is a useful management tool to improve the efficiency of certain clinical services.
