Abstract:
Care pathways can help to implement evidence-based clinical practice. The introduction of care pathways is difficult for psychiatric disorders. This study examined whether the organization and the effectiveness of care provided to schizophrenic patients can be improved by care pathways. Outcomes from 19 patients receiving treatment using evidence-based care pathways were compared with 17 patients receiving a traditional approach to care over a 3 months period. Results showed significant improvements in the quality of the care for the patients included in the care pathway group. The authors concluded the positive outcomes for patients treated with care pathways were related to the assistance provided to clinicians in identifying and implementing evidence-based standards.
