    Implementing a clinical pathway for abdominal aortic aneurysm repair significantly reduced healthcare costs by 33%. This approach improves resource efficiency and patient outcomes in surgical care.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Services Research
    • Surgical Outcomes
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Healthcare systems face pressure to improve patient outcomes and resource efficiency.
    • Clinical pathways offer a structured approach to optimize care processes and achieve defined goals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the clinical and fiscal outcomes of a clinical pathway for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
    • To identify opportunities for improved resource utilization and patient satisfaction.

    Main Methods:

    • Monitoring patient preoperative and postoperative courses to identify variances.
    • Utilizing electronic databases for data collection and analysis of charges, treatment course, and length of stay.
    • Profiling outliers to identify prognostic indicators and high-risk patients.
