The pathway was developed by a group comprising
clinicians from nursing, medicine, physiotherapy,
nutrition, social work and occupational therapy. The
pathway specifies responsibilities by discipline and the
timeframe for their completion. Should a specific
timeframe be exceeded there is provision for recording
the event as a variance from the pathway and remedial
action to be instituted. The principal aim of the pathway
was to maximise the effective use of resources and
minimise negative patient outcomes, thereby improving
patient care. As previously noted, the absence of evidence
relating to the effects of clinical pathways on patient
HRQoL and satisfaction led us to pose the following
research questions:
