Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of clinical pathway on inpatients for rehabilitation. Methods The hospital expense, the ex-pense for medicine and length of stay in hospital were compared in patients with cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, spinal cord injury and spastic cerebral palsy before (January 1st, 2012 to April 30th, 2013) and after (May 1st, 2013 to December 31st, 2015) clinical pathway implementation, 50 inpatients for each disease, totally 200 patients. Results The length of stay in hospital reduced after of clinical pathway implementation, in all the diseases (t>5.226, P<0.001), with the decrease of hospital expense for cerebral infarction (t=3.327, P<0.001). There was no significant increase in any expense in the disease (t<1.777, P>0.05). Conclusion The implementation of rehabilitation clinical pathway can reduce the length of stay in hospital for the patients rehabilitation in hospital, without increasing their cost.
