1City University London.
Abstract:
Greater emphasis is being placed on mental health services to be more responsive to clinical variation. Care pathways can standardize clinician response to established diagnostic groups such as schizophrenia. This article discusses care pathways using the findings of a research study carried out in London to explore the development and implementation of a care pathway. Respondents encountered many difficulties such as the principles behind individualized care and generic roles and responsibilities in preformulating their work into a care pathway sequence. This article concludes with areas for further application and research.
