Clinical Pathways
Standardising care processes to enable personalised, patient-centred care
There is an increasingdemand for EHRs to incorporate clinical decision support systems, which guide the clinician in their daily practice and allow them to follow the recommendations, guides and protocols defined autonomously by the health organization. All this under a model based on the improvement of health outcomes, where the patient’s experience (patient journey, PREM, PROM) takes on special relevance.
Clinical-decision support tools, which are based on evidence and standardised healthcare processes, are aimed at certain conditions and procedures. They enablemultidisciplinary and patient-centred care management throughout the continuum of care.
Dedalus Clinical Pathways, powered by Open Health Connect Workbench, enables predictable, optimised workflows to support and manage programs of care and chronic conditions. Through the array of best practice clinical guidelines and document workflows the Clinical Pathway solution will support a standardised care model based on outcomes and quality of care. This can be implemented , both within a hospital setting and across an entire community if required., . Clinical Pathways help to improve outcomes, reduce administration costs and respond to the teaching and research needs that modern health organizations require.
