Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Nursing Informatics
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Traditional nursing care plans can be time-consuming and may not fully integrate multidisciplinary care.
  • Invasive cardiology units require efficient and standardized patient management protocols.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of transitioning from nursing care plans to multidisciplinary critical pathways in an invasive cardiology unit.
  • To assess changes in nursing documentation time, patient complaints, and information quality.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive analysis of the implementation process of critical pathways.
  • Comparison of key performance indicators before and after pathway implementation.
  • Exploration of both benefits and challenges associated with the transition.

Main Results:

  • Significant reduction in nursing staff documentation time.
  • Decrease in the number of patient complaints.
  • Improvement in the quality of collected patient information, verified by clinical audit.

Conclusions:

  • Multidisciplinary critical pathways offer a viable alternative to traditional care plans in invasive cardiology.
  • Implementation leads to improved efficiency and data quality, positively impacting patient care and staff workload.
