- Care Pathway
-
Care pathways are sometimes described as ‘integrated care pathways’ (ICP) and are a tool and a concept, that embed guidelines, protocols and locally agreed, evidence-based, patient-centred, best practice, into everyday use for the individual patient. An ICP aims to have:
- The right people,
- Doing the right things,
- In the right order,
- At the right time,
- In the right place,
- With the right outcome,
- All with attention to the patient experience
