But when comparing the situation across many different countries, there is still considerably room for improvement it comes to large-scale implementation of digitally supported care processes or even systematic exchange experience. Promising examples integration digital into pharmacotherapy include National Polypharmacy Scotland, EU project iSIMPATHY, as well work currently being done by...
In this discussion and opinion paper, the Bureau members of European Pathway Association present five challenges for future care pathways. Pathways will have to be based on latest available evidence international databases, tools available. If pathways a future, organisations should focus disease-specific oriented care. Evidence-based pathways, which are organised in organisation, can lead improvement quality efficiency but only if we invest real teamwork. As fourth challenge, need technical...
