Implementing Integrated Clinical Pathways

Clinical pathways refer to anticipated recovery pathways or care pathways integrated and coordinated, in an effort to describe the expected clinical course of a patient's clinical problems (Li, Kecheng, Yang, & Yu, 2013). They identify the shortfalls associated with the adopted medical standards (Lenz & Reichert, 2005). The paper clinical pathways have challenges that can be eliminated by integration of information systems in the clinical pathways procedures. These shortfalls arise from inaccurate communication involved in paper-based clinical pathways (Mathe, 2009). This paper proposes integrated clinical pathways with an aim of embedding knowledge into existing hospital information systems and treatment policies.
