Can Clinical Pathways enhance the implementation of a Casemix system? A case study in a teaching hospital in Malaysia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction A Clinical Pathway (CP) is a multidisciplinary plan of care based on best clinical practice for a specified group of patients with a particular diagnosis. A CP is designed to minimize delays, optimize resource utilization, and maximize quality of care. CPs support the implementation of Casemix by reducing variations of care, increasing homogeneity of cases, improving quality of Casemix data, and enhancing costing analysis in Casemix.
