Abstract:
Objective To analyze the implementation of clinical pathways ( CP) at public hospitals at different levels and in different regions in China. Methods The status of CPs′ implementation at 54 public hospitals in Shanghai, Hubei province and Gansu province was surveyed by questionnaires from March to May of 2015. Results 51 (94. 4%) of the surveyed public hospitals put in place clinical pathway(s), where the average CPs implemented were 45 and the average percentage of the cases using CPs was 52. 7%. There were great variations among these hospitals. In addition, the common diseases with definite diagnostic and treatment options were found with the highest implementation rates of CPs at such hospitals. Conclusions CPs are implemented widely at public hospitals of China, yet enhanced implementation strategies are expected to further CPs′adoption.
