Abstract

Increasing cost constraints and the continuous need to enhance quality has focused attention on developing and implementing programs to improve patient care delivery. Case management programs enable organizations to balance quality components with costs to improve outcomes for patient populations. Critical pathways can be utilized as a tool for promoting optimal outcomes for case managed populations in acute care hospitals.
