Clinical pathways are crucial in nursing practice for several reasons:
Standardization: They help standardize care, ensuring that each patient receives evidence-based, high-quality care. Improved Outcomes: By following a structured plan, outcomes such as recovery times, complication rates, and patient satisfaction can be improved. Resource Management: They optimize the use of resources, reducing waste and lowering healthcare costs. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Clinical pathways foster collaboration among various healthcare professionals, including nurses, doctors, and therapists.
