Abstract:
IntroductionThe term, care pathway, has been used to describe multidisciplinary/ multi-agency outline of anticipated care, placed in an appropriate timeframe, to help a patient with a specific condition or set of symptoms move progressively through a clinical experience to positive outcomes. In practice, a multitude of disparate projects have produced outputs ranging from pages of interconnected boxes and arrows with rather basic entries to thick and indigestible wads of paper. Certainly the idea of a ‘mental health care pathway’ accessible and used by the general public, service users, carers, primary and secondary care has seemed overwhelmingly complex and unworkable.Aims & objectivesTo make relevant service and clinical information available when and where in a person's progress or a clinician treatment path it was needed.MethodWebsite hyperlinks allow linkage within websites and to other websites with relevant information (e.g. ICD10, NICE guidelines, and Patient information leaflets). A development prototype funded by the UK NHS has been established to form the basis for a website to be launched in mid-2011 (www.mentalhealth.southcentral.nhs.uk).ResultsThe prototype contains links to evidence-based information on maintaining mental health and on ‘coping with problems’. Service Pathways describe detail of processes occurring in mental health care. Diagnostic care pathways start as broad categories [Kingdon et al, 2010] with links to diagnosis, medication (e.g. connects to the National Formulary) and psychological management sites.ConclusionsWeb technology allows information about mental health care pathways to be accessed more systematically and readily and has application internationally.

Abstract:
Care pathways are excellent tools for quality management in health care concerning the standardization of care processes, as they promote organized and efficient patient care established on evidence-based practice. The implementation of a care pathway project at any health-care setting means a change of the organizational culture. E-pathways (electronic pathways) are strategic resources in order to get the successful implementation of a care pathway project. The concept of e-pathway is recent enough and there are some different experiences worldwide. In 2000, the first electronic pathways were implemented at Hospital de Mataró, in Barcelona, Spain. The benefits of using e-pathways (Eira Healthcare Server) are very clear at Hospital de Mataró: immediate records with no transcriptions, information in the palm of your hand, no prints, and rigour and reliability. Another recent and interesting experience is the development and introduction of e-pathways at Hospital General de l'Hospitalet, in Barcelona, Spain, using an SAP integrated health-care solution. The strategy planning of hospital managers should take into account the need and priority of any pathway project linked to e-pathways. Some experiences in Spain have proven that we do really need electronic support for pathways. Electronic pathways are a basic support and should not be postponed when implementing care pathways.

Abstract:
Persistent orofacial pain is relatively common and known to have an adverse effect on quality of life. Previous studies suggest that the current care pathway may be problematic, but it is not well understood which health services patients access and what their experience is. The aim of this study was to explore care pathways and their impact from the perspective of patients. Qualitative interviews were conducted with a maximum variation sample of patients recruited from primary (community based) and secondary (specialist hospital based) care in the United Kingdom. Questions focused on the stages in their pathway and the impact of the care that they had received. Interviews were digitally recorded and transcribed verbatim, and analysis followed principles of the constant comparative method. NVivo 10 was used to help organize and analyze data. Twenty-two patients were interviewed at baseline, and 18 took part in a second interview at 12 mo. Three main themes emerged from the data: the “fluidity of the care pathway,” in which patients described moving among health care providers in attempts to have their pain diagnosed and managed, occurring alongside a “failure to progress,” where despite multiple appointments, patients described frustration at delays in obtaining a diagnosis and effective treatment for their pain. Throughout their care pathways, patients described the “effects of unmanaged pain,” where the longer the pain went unmanaged, the greater its potential to negatively affect their lives. Findings of this study suggest that the current care pathway is inefficient and fails to meet patient needs. Future work needs to focus on working with stakeholder groups to redesign patient-centered care pathways. Knowledge Transfer Statement: Data from qualitative interviews conducted with patients with persistent orofacial pain suggest significant problems with the existing care pathway, consisting of delays to diagnosis, treatment, and referral. Patients describing their struggle to progress through the current care pathway highlighted the difficulties occurring while living with orofacial pain. This study suggests a need for a revised care pathway, which better meets the needs of people with persistent orofacial pain.

Abstract:
Objectives: Increasing diagnostic rates of dementia is a national health priority; to meet this priority, improvement needs to be made to diagnostic services. It has been increasingly recognized that primary can play a significant role in the diagnostic journey for people with dementia, with some diagnostic services entirely located in primary care. This article reviews the extent of the involvement of primary care in diagnostic care pathways for people presenting with memory complaints within England, and presents examples of innovative approaches, which may be of interest to practitioners. Method: A rapid review was undertaken to identify articles outlining diagnostic care pathways for dementia involving primary care in England. Results: Six articles relating to pathway evaluations and innovative approaches involving primary care were deemed suitable for inclusion in the review. Conclusions: The review found examples of diagnostic pathways and innovative practices being implemented in in primary care. These practices aligned to the strategic ambitions of the National Dementia Strategy. However, it was widely acknowledged that there is a need to improve postdiagnostic pathways; in particular, access to postdiagnostic support. This issue is being reflected in contemporary policy initiatives such as the Department of Health’s 2016 Joint Declaration on postdiagnostic dementia care and support.

Abstract:
Using qualitative methods, this study examined how, and under what circumstances, suicidal men used mental health services. In particular, the analyses focused on fragmented pathways to care. Fifteen men with a history of suicidal and aggressive behaviors and a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder and/or antisocial personality disorder participated in semistructured interviews that consisted of questions about their mental health status and experiences with mental health and addiction services. Interviews were taped and transcribed. An iterative, inductive qualitative analytic process was used. Men followed a cyclical pattern wherein negative experiences with health care providers were said to be followed by avoidance of health care settings, crisis, and then by involuntary service utilization. Men identified five health care provider and three personal practices, and two types of episodes they believed to contribute to their fragmented pathways to care. Implementation of specialized interventions, and providing patients with more information and more opportunity to participate in decisions, may improve interactions between patients and providers and improve patients' mental health status.

Abstract:
Clinical care pathways have existed for many years. Their origin is arguably in nursing and many will recall using a nursing care plan. Clinical care pathways are often denounced as 'tick-box' exercises as practitioners wrongly assume that they will result in a loss of clinical freedom. This is not the case; clinical care pathways do not seek to tell practitioners what to do, but to assist and support them in their decisions.

Abstract Objective Translating clinical evidence to daily practice remains a challenge and may improve with clinical pathways. We assessed interest in and usability of clinical pathways by primary care professionals. Methods An online survey was created. Interest in pathways for patient care and learning was assessed at start and finish. Participants completed baseline questions then pathway-associated question sets related to management of 2 chronic diseases. Perceived pathway usability was assessed using the system usability scale. Accuracy and confidence of answers was compared for baseline and pathway-assisted questions. Results Of 115 participants, 17.4% had used clinical pathways, the lowest of decision support tool types surveyed. Accuracy and confidence in answers significantly improved for all pathways. Interest in using pathways daily or weekly was above 75% for the respondents. Conclusion There is low utilization of, but high interest in, clinical pathways by primary care clinicians. Pathways improve accuracy and confidence in answering written clinical questions.

Abstract:
327 Background: Oncology care represents a significant portion of US healthcare spending. Cost of Part B drugs has increased at a rate 5.7x that of overall Medicare spending. As a participant in the Oncology Care Model, drug costs represent a majority of our total costs. Pathways are a clinical decision-support tool that use evidence-based care maps accounting for efficacy, toxicity and cost. Our NCI-designated cancer center implemented pathways in July 2018 to reduce care variation and decrease costs. Methods: We reviewed costs related to pathway utilization over a two year period, analyzing differences in total annual drug cost for patients in three categories: On-Pathway (aligned with pathway recommendation), Off-Pathway (not aligned with recommendation), and No Pathway (not used). Per Member Per Month (PMPM) costs were calculated and a weighted average applied to account for changes in annual drug costs. Results: PMPM drug costs decreased -8% in year 1 (FY19) and -4% in year 2 (FY20) when pathways were used (On- and Off-Pathway). When pathways were followed (On-Pathway) in making treatment decisions, the drug costs were 11% lower than when pathways were not used. The annual impact on drug costs when pathways were used amounted to $2.45 million in year 1 and $1.77 million in year 2 (Table). Conclusions: Pathway use reduced drug costs, a significant variable in oncology value-based care models. This finding highlights the value of clinical decision support tools in reducing care variability, a known contributor to health care costs, in making treatment decisions. Further assessment is needed to determine if these results are similar at other cancer centers to fully realize the impact of pathways on drug costs.[Table: see text]

Abstract:
129 Background: Moffitt Cancer Center has developed proprietary oncology clinical pathways. Multiple external partnership agreements which require adoption of these pathways have been completed. Our Center has enacted new cancer care delivery and payment arrangements with payers to foster cost and quality balance via use of the pathways and earlier involvement of palliative care (PC). Methods: Executive and PC leadership collaborated with the clinical pathways and strategic alliance teams to identify high priority disease states for integration of PC. Working with oncologist pathway developers, critical junctures in the pathways for inclusion of PC consultation were proposed and refined. EHR mechanisms to promote pathway adherence by clinicians were initiated. The value of pathway utilization and care coordination to involve PC was promoted to prospective oncology partners and payers. Results: PC has been mandated in oncology clinical care pathways, with a focus on thoracic, breast, gastrointestinal, prostate, gynecologic and hematologic malignancies, as directed by specific payer arrangements. Partnerships have expanded, resulting in greater utilization of PC by other centers as well. Increased referral volumes to PC, broader symptom control, and enhanced advance care planning have resulted. Conclusions: Incorporation of PC in oncologic clinical care pathways, with dissemination to internal providers, external partners and as part of novel payment models, optimizes PC integration.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to systematically apply theory of organisational routines to standardised care pathways. The explanatory power of routines is used to address open questions in the care pathway literature about their coordinating and organising role, the way they change and can be replicated, the way they are influenced by the organisation and the way they influence health care professionals. Design/methodology/approach – Theory of routines is systematically applied to care pathways in order to develop theoretically derived propositions. Findings – Care pathways mirror routines by being recurrent, collective and embedded and specific to an organisation. In particular, care pathways resemble standard operating procedures that can give rise to recurrent collective action patterns. In all, 11 propositions related to five categories are proposed by building on these insights: care pathways and coordination, change, replication, the organisation and health care professionals. Research limitations/implications – The paper is conceptual and uses care pathways as illustrative instances of hospital routines. The propositions provide a starting point for empirical research. Practical implications – The analysis highlights implications that health care professionals and managers have to consider in relation to coordination, change, replication, the way the organisation influences care pathways and the way care pathways influence health care professionals. Originality/value – Theory on organisational routines offers fundamental, yet unexplored, insights into hospital processes, including in particular care coordination.

Abstract:
115 Background: Care pathways are established methods of reducing healthcare costs and disparities in oncology care. To demonstrate their impact, health systems must measure and report data on care pathway adherence and outcomes in near real-time. Automating data abstraction across a health system for oncology is difficult due to the amount and detail of data required. Manual abstraction of data is considered slow and costly. Many consider Electronic Medical Record (EMR) integration of care pathways essential in order to successfully implement and assess. Methods: 7 medical oncology care pathways and 45 medical oncologists across the health system were selected for a pilot study to assess the feasibility of implementing care pathways throughout the enterprise. The pilot study also allowed for testing of data collection capabilities. Patients eligible for the care pathways were prospectively identified by manual review of physician calendars. A small number of data points were manually abstracted from the patient EMR at the time of identification. Endpoints of interest, such as hospitalization rates, chemotherapy administered, time to treatment, and costs of care were reconciled through pre-existing databases within pharmacy, research, and finance. Tumor registry data identified a retrospective cohort. Results: Over 1,000 patients were prospectively identified for the care pathway pilot between 1/1/2014 and 12/31/2014. The tumor registry identified 700 additional retrospective patients. The rapid analyses possible as a result of these efforts demonstrated physician adherence, improved patient outcomes, and significant cost savings. In one example, a care pathway for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer reduced charges by more than $98,000/patient by recommending patients receive one standardized chemotherapeutic regimen. Conclusions: Timely data collection for oncology care pathways is feasible and cost effective without EMR integration. Manual identification of patients combined with pre-existing data sources allowed for near-real time analysis of care pathways and provided valuable information about care pathway impact. Institutions can implement and assess care pathways with resources already available to them.

Abstract:
The quality of patient care varies based on numerous factors, such as health care setting, geographic location, access to medications, insurance coverage, and treatment protocols. Recently, the issue of whether use of clinical pathways can reduce costs and inappropriate variability in care has been the subject of much debate. As clinical treatment guidelines and pathways are increasingly deployed in oncology practice, they have a growing impact on the quality of treatment and how it is delivered. To fulfill the current need to discuss the use of pathways and clinical treatment guidelines in oncology and to address how patient care is impacted by their use, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network convened the NCCN Oncology Policy Summit: Equity in Cancer Care–Pathways, Protocols, and Guidelines. The summit was a forum to discuss the use and implementation of pathways, including how much flexibility pathways should allow in care, pathways’ impact on public and private health insurance benefit design, what data is used to select pathway regimens and protocols, and ultimately what impact pathways may have on variation in care. The use and implementation of clinical treatment guidelines in practice was also explored from a variety of perspectives.

Since then, clinical pathways have been presented as a strategic tool for improving care. In preparation for an organization-wide project, a team investigated and adapted the methodology as designed by the Clinical Pathway Network to the specific situation of Catharina Hospital. Staff were educated, which in return provided project teams with methodology and tools for development. Started small, the aim of the project is to achieve a snowball effect in the use of clinical pathways. Having started in 2006, six pathways are currently under construction, more of which are considered for development. An evaluation of the methodology and results in the summer of 2007, showed that the method was of great help in optimizing care processes and developing multidisciplinary agreements.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to develop delirium care pathways (DCPs) useable and relevant for registered practitioners in all care settings: community; acute; and nursing homes. A qualitative approach was adopted to develop the pathways inductively. Focus groups and one-to-one interviews with registered practitioners ( n = 45) working as managers, practitioners and clinical nurse consultants were undertaken to develop draft versions of the pathways, which was pilot trialled across 19 clinical settings. The publication of the DCPs was a concise and easily readable document for registered practitioners who required immediate guidance on how to implement evidence-based delirium care for older people and their family carers, including three patient journeys explaining best-practice delirium care in community, acute and nursing home care settings, a webpage resource and printable posters of the pathways' patient journeys to promote the use of the pathways in clinical settings. The work undertaken to develop the pathways was further developed through new policy documents, state-wide initiatives to improve delirium care in hospitals, development of educational resources on delirium care and other knowledge translation projects on this topic.
