This study introduces a five-step model for evaluating clinical paths to ensure high-quality, cost-effective healthcare. The model provides reliable data for improving healthcare practices.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Clinical Pathways
  • Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Healthcare systems face pressure to reduce costs while maintaining high-quality patient care.
  • Clinical paths are increasingly implemented as a strategy to achieve these goals.
  • Existing literature supports the positive outcomes of clinical paths but lacks systematic evaluation frameworks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a structured, five-step evaluation model for assessing the effectiveness of clinical paths.
  • To provide a reliable framework for generating data on clinical path performance.
  • To facilitate the translation of evaluation findings into actionable healthcare improvements.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a five-step evaluation model.
