Key result
Clinical pathways for hip and knee replacements successfully reduced costs and length of stay in acute care hospitals without compromising patient outcomes.
Why the study?
Do clinical pathways reduce costs and length of stay in patients undergoing hip and knee replacements?
Do clinical pathways reduce costs and length of stay in patients undergoing hip and knee replacements?
Clinical pathways for hip and knee replacements may reduce costs and length of stay without compromising patient outcomes.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support pathway adoption in hip/knee replacements; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Clinical pathways (CP) for hip and knee replacements appear to be successful in reducing costs and length of stay in acute care hospitals, with no compromise in patient outcomes. These programmes a...
