Clinical pathway modelling: a literature review

Abstract: Hospital information systems are increasingly used as part of decision support tools for planning at strategic, tactical and operational decision levels. Clinical pathways are an effective and efficient approach in standardising the progression of treatment, to support patient care and facilitate clinical decision making. This literature review proposes a taxonomy of problems related to clinical pathways and explores the intersection between Information Systems (IS), Operational Research (OR) and industrial en… Show more

“…Structure, in the form of a pathway or guideline, improves patient outcomes and reduces cost [ 43 ]. Well designed pathways, which involve all the interested stakeholders in their design, help to assimilate clarity, continuity, competence and efficiency both for the patient and primary and secondary care [ 1 , 2 ]. They may streamline services by providing both physical and environmental organisations, ensuring that each individual patient has the right interventions performed at the right times by the right professionals [ 2 ].…”

“…Surgery is a high-risk speciality and inconsistencies in patient care and a lack of forward planning have potential disastrous effects [ 46 ]. Forward planning and a structured, evidence-based approach to CAWH patient care via a pathway may help [ 2 , 11 , 25 – 27 ]. Beyond this, well-organised pathways provide stability.…”

“…There is pressure to expedite test development and evaluation, and the demand on developing models to help identify optimal testing strategies is also high. Patient care pathway analysis [7] is the rst step in that direction, [8] supporting the identi cation of the most effective role of new tests in the current care pathway.…”
