“…Some care pathways have been designed to focus more on the process of care as opposed to the specific problems pertaining to a diagnosis. Anders et al . (1997) has evaluated the content of a 161 item care pathway for patients suffering from schizophrenia by subjecting the components of the care pathway to a panel of experts.…”

“…In this case of CPM applied in an acute‐care psychiatric unit, it was difficult for medical staffs to assess psychiatric symptoms at a general view, which seems to come from the hardness to generalize each variable patient and the inactive evaluation of psychiatric symptoms and insight into the diseases. A previous research showed that assessment scales to evaluate psychiatric symptoms were ineffective (Anders et al 1997), and the scale we adopted had some items to be evaluated by doctors along with nurses. Therefore, in the second test, the items to be evaluated by nurses were separated from those by doctors.…”

This research aimed to examine whether early discharge can be performed by nurses of a ward participating in the process of critical path method supporting with offer and evaluation of standard and efficient medical treatments and nursing cares. In order to enrich the system that performs hospitable medical treatment and nursing cares standardized at the psychiatry acute term and to prevent chronic, critical path method was introduced into the acute term ward, then the investigation for nursing job satisfaction that was important to establish critical path method was conducted. By introducing critical path method, it became possible to assess the patients in standard, and the subject of business or a system became clear towards early discharge. It became possible to tie up this subject to a future improvement. Consequently, as for comparison of the patient who applied the schedule table of critical path method at the first and second term, the latter decreased the average length of hospitalization period significantly. The satisfaction of the task requirement, which was important to maintain systems, was decreased by the introduction of critical path method but the score of autonomy in satisfaction increased significantly by the improvement of usage of critical path method. From these, it was suggested that the introduction of critical path method in the acute-care unit psychiatry had possibility to aim at standardization of treatment and nursing and patients' early discharge from hospitals.

“…The early stages of care pathway development offer an opportunity to review the current service in terms of both service user and practitioner experiences. Anders et al . (1997) suggest they can promote interdisciplinary dialogue by providing a forum for all the professions involved in care to come together to discuss their role and input.…”

Care pathways are used extensively in inpatient medical and surgical services to facilitate the delivery of evidence-based health care. There is a growing interest in their use in the mental health arena. However, questions remain about their acceptability to service users and staff. Most current literature is aimed at communicating the value of care pathways. Consequently, issues that are particularly pertinent to mental health, like language, therapeutic relationships and individualized care have not been fully addressed. This paper reports on the development of a care pathway in residential services in Nottingham. It will illustrate how by working in multidisciplinary groups with service users and carers these issues were incorporated into a comprehensive pathway that follows the service user's journey from admission to discharge. The paper concludes by highlighting some of the challenges of care pathway implementation and suggests ways they can be overcome.
