Care Pathways

Care Pathways are an important component of patient-centered care. The use of evidence-based care pathways contributes to quality and efficient patient care, while also creating a standardized process for care, treatment, and documentation that supports clinical excellence and controls costs. Other benefits include:

  •  Continuity of care
  •  Improved clinical outcomes
  •  Appropriate Lengths of stay
  •  Increased patient and staff satisfaction

Care Pathways will become standard practice for all Island hospitals as we work to create a health system that is based on quality, efficiency, equity, and sustainability.
