Total joint project: acute care to home care.
Publication/Presentation Date
4-1-1999
Abstract
The advent of managed care, decreased reimbursement, and competition among providers has forced acute care institutions to examine care delivery. Clinical paths provide a method that manages patient care toward positive outcomes within a cost-effective environment. A collaborative project for total joint patients beginning with the office visit and continuing through the entire episode of care is described.
