Caring about carepaths
Abstract
This short paper describes an experiment in the use of clinical pathways for orthopaedic patients at Cairns Base Hospital. We rapidly found they improved the management of cost and quality, and that there were many beneficial side-effects. Our approach was subsequently adopted in other departments. Unfortunately, external support for further developments has not been forthcoming and we argue that this may be an unwise move.
