Abstract
Integrated care pathways (ICPs) map the predicted course of an episode of patient care. This paper describes an ICP combined with outcome measurement to audit the goal-oriented neurorehabilitation of patients with stroke. Reasons for departure from the pathway and failure to achieve goals are evaluated. Analysis of this variance and its causes allows the development of more efficient and effective patient care.Keywords
