Compliance of Clinical Pathways in Elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Evaluation of Different Implementation Methods
Study Overview
Detailed Description
Data of patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholecystolithiasis were collected over two different periods: a clinical pathway in form of a paper based check-list (check-list group, n=118, or in form of a clinical pathway integrated into the paper based medical treatment and nursing documentation (integrated clinical pathway group, n=123. A standardized clinical pathway for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in form of a check list was initially established in 2008 and evaluated during a 6-month period (August 2011 until January 2012) at the University of Tuebingen. The integrated clinical pathway was evaluated during a 6-month period after an introduction phase of 2 months (November 2012 until April 2013). The contents of both clinical pathways were identical, especially concerning the standardization of perioperative fluid management, perioperative monitoring, nutrition, analgesia, reserve medications, preoperative and postoperative examinations, detailed laboratory blood testing, nursing standards and planned discharge.
Primary outcome measure was the compliance to the clinical pathway defined as an adherence of more than 80% to the presetted pathway items.
