Why the study?
Do clinical pathways reduce in-hospital complications and improve documentation without negatively impacting length of stay and hospital costs?
Do clinical pathways reduce in-hospital complications and improve documentation without negatively impacting length of stay and hospital costs?
Implementation of clinical pathways may reduce in-hospital complications and improve documentation without increasing length of stay or costs.
May inform pathway use to cut complications; leaves open confirmation in RCTs on stay and costs.
Clinical pathways are associated with reduced in-hospital complications and improved documentation without negatively impacting on length of stay and hospital costs.
