The development of clinical pathways involves a multidisciplinary team that typically includes nurses, physicians, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals. The process generally involves:
Literature Review: Reviewing current evidence and guidelines to determine best practices. Consensus Building: Achieving agreement among the multidisciplinary team on the steps to include in the pathway. Pilot Testing: Implementing the pathway on a small scale to identify any issues or areas for improvement. Implementation: Rolling out the pathway on a larger scale, often accompanied by staff training. Evaluation and Revision: Continuously monitoring outcomes and making necessary adjustments to the pathway.
