Abstract

Clinical pathways for three rheumatological indications have been successfully developed in the rheumatological departments of two hospitals. These diseases were selected because of the number of inpatients seen and/or the costs for diagnostics and therapy. Three quota-concepts, the coordination of treatment processes (quota-concept I), the sequence of implementing services (quota-concept II), and the economical utilization of available resources as well as the transparent definition of therapies (quota-concept III) have been established. These concepts have been tested individually as well as in complex situations.
