After spending a lot of money, your hospital unit has implemented a new care pathway. However, after a year, it appears that this new pathway did not improve patient outcomes. Some staff members say the process is too much work and want to go back to the old system.
Define care pathway
Why do we need effective care pathways?
What should be the decision taken in such circumstances?
1. Care pathway is a multidisciplinary tool that enables the healthcare professionals to provide effective care at low price which results in better patient outcomes. Its a concept of pathways used to manage long term conditions. It is the standard operating procedure for the health and social care industry.
2. The purpose of a care pathway is to improve patient outcome by providing a mechanism to co-ordinate care and to reduce fragmentation and ultimately cost . They are designed to support clinical management ,clinical or non -clinical resource management ,clinical audit and financial management . It provides detailed guidance for each stage in the management of patient with a specific condition over a time period and includes progress and outcome details.
Its aim is to improve continuity and coordination of care among different disciplines and sectors .
3. When the objectives of any procedure or process are not being obtained as per the set goals then it's better to do further new amendments in the existing procedure to make it acceptable by the professionals ,to motivate them to use it successfully and to achieve the set goals and objectives .
Here in this case, the organisation must use some innovative healthcare concepts and do the changes as per the recommended requirements by the staffs using this care pathway, because they are the ones who use these care pathways to take care of the patients , as they are more aware of the needs of the patients. And by the use of these amended care pathways the staffs will be able to provide efficient care which is more accessible and affordable to the patients and it will result in better patient outcomes.
