Abstract
Critical pathways are known to decrease the patient's length of stay while simultaneously using resources effectively and efficiently. Several additional functions of critical pathways exist: pathways are used as tools for teaching; to predict and prevent complications; streamline charting; and anticipate staffing needs. These and other functions of critical pathways are described as they apply to critical care patients.
