« Clinical path »A clinical path is a description of key events in the process of patient care which the healthcare team presumes will most likely result in maximum quality at minimal costs and minimal time.
A clinical path is the result of everyone's collaborative effort toward determining what might be the best way to treat the average seafarer.
« Clinical path »
a clinical path is not a description of all the interventions that each patient must have. The physician can change, delete, and add to these interventions to suit their patient's unique requirements.
