Abstract
|
|
|
Objective : The aim of this study was to develop critical pathway for post operation care of laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy with time and cost effectiveness using a clinical pathway assistant program (MDCPATM, MDware Co.)
Methods : Procedure was done with the following steps; establishment of conceptual framework, development of preliminary critical pathway using CPA program, expert validity test, and confirmation of final critical pathway.
Results : Preliminary critical pathway was extracted by CPA program, and this result was verified by expert validity test. The process of data collection and analysis to develop the preliminary critical pathway was accomplished automatically by CPA program. The patients’ hospitalization period in the aspect of time and cost effectiveness was confirmed as 6 days, and each item of assessment, test, medication, treatment, diet, activity, and teaching were finalized.
Conclusion : The CPA program can automate the complicated process, which contains collecting and cleaning the large size EMR data, classifying and confirming the items in critical pathway, so that the time and cost to develop a critical pathway can be reduced. This program is expected to be used for development of critical pathway in a variety of clinical settings in the aspect of time and cost effectiveness.
