==Overview==
Critical pathways are multidisciplinary management tools based on evidence-based practice for a specific group of patients with a predictable clinical course, in which the different tasks (interventions) by the professionals involved in the patient care are defined, optimized and sequenced.  The use of critical pathways in hospitals have been proven to improve the quality of care to patients, reduce the cost of care and reduce the length of hospital stay.<ref name="Renholm-2002">{{Cite journal  | last1 = Renholm | first1 = M. | last2 = Leino-Kilpi | first2 = H. | last3 = Suominen | first3 = T. | title = Critical pathways.

==Goals==
==Statement of Need==
* The WikiDoc Critical Pathways is developed as a step-by-step guide to clinical reasoning with regards to inpatient management.
Health care has undergone rapid changes over the years.  The world of medicine is rapidly evolving and there is the need of a tool to improve the quality of health care administered to patients with the aim of reducing the cost of health care, standardizing health care processes, reducing the occurrence of medical errors and optimizing the treatment outcomes both in the acute and home care settings.

==How Can WikiDoc Meet These Needs?==
# Use the algorithm in the Resident Survival Guide of the topic.
The WikiDoc team has come up with the 'critical pathways project' intended to solve these problems.  The critical pathways project is focused on creating standardized treatment protocols for the management of medical conditions by applying evidence-based medical approaches to patient care. With the use of critical pathways, a health care provider can rapidly determine the treatment goals of a specific medical condition and institute appropriate actions in a chronological sequence with optimal efficiency. This project is intended for interns, residents, attending physicians, hospitalists, specialists, nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants to contribute their knowledge and clinical experience. This project aims at improving the quality of making diagnoses and treating medical conditions, reducing the variability in treatment, and to improve the overall quality of patient care.  WikiDoc welcomes your involvement in contributing to this project.

Overview

Critical pathways are multidisciplinary management tools based on evidence-based practice for a specific group of patients with a predictable clinical course, in which the different tasks (interventions) by the professionals involved in the patient care are defined, optimized and sequenced. The use of critical pathways in hospitals have been proven to improve the quality of care to patients, reduce the cost of care and reduce the length of hospital stay.[1] WikiDoc is proud to engage in such a project.

The world of medicine is rapidly evolving and there is the need of a tool to improve the quality of health care administered to patients with the aim of reducing the cost of health care, standardizing health care processes, reducing the occurrence of medical errors and optimizing the treatment outcomes both in the acute and home care settings.
