Synopsis

Promoting critical pathways as a way to reengineer essential health care processes, Eugene, Oregon experts Wall and Proyect focus on the specifics of implementing this route to improving patient outcomes, meeting JCAHO/NCQA standards, maximizing reimbursement, and controlling clinical costs. Such specifics encompass: pathway terms, policies and procedures; development of support mechanisms; measurement, and utilization of results; and determination of the fiscal impact of (hopefully) improved clinical processes.
