Objective. To test clinical pathways in a variety of Italian health care organizations 2000–2002 to measure performance decreasing process and outcome variations.
The concept of second victims (SV) was introduced 20 years ago to draw attention healthcare professionals involved in patient safety incidents. objective this paper is advance the theoretical conceptualization and develop a common definition. A literature search performed Medline, EMBASE CINAHL (October 2010 November 2020). description SV extracted regarding three concepts: (1) persons, (2) content action (3) impact. Based on these concepts, definition proposed discussed within ERNST-COST...
Care pathways, also known as clinical critical pathways or integrated care are used all over the world. Although they internationally, there still a large number of misunderstandings. The goal this paper is to provide an overview on history and how actually perceived defined. Pathways more than just document in patient record. They concept for making patient-focused operational supporting modelling groups with different levels predictability. method within field continuous quality...
Abstract Clinical features and natural history of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) differ widely among different countries during phases the pandemia. Here, we aimed to evaluate case fatality rate (CFR) identify predictors mortality in a cohort COVID-19 patients admitted three hospitals Northern Italy between March 1 April 28, 2020. All these had confirmed diagnosis SARS-CoV-2 infection by molecular methods. During study period 504/1697 died; thus, overall CFR was 29.7%. We looked for...
Effective interprofessional teamwork is an essential component for the delivery of high-quality patient care in increasingly complex medical environment.

Teams caring patients hospitalized with a proximal femur fracture and those exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, were into intervention control...

To define a set success factors when designing interventions SVs in facilities based on expertise different European countries. International collaboration involving countries with diverse cultures, structures legal frameworks. Qualitative research. Focus groups total 43 participants...
Objectives To give an overview on the use and prevalence of clinical pathways. Design Cross-sectional descriptive study. Study participants European Pathway Association (E-P-A) contact persons in 23 countries. Results Clinical pathways, also known as critical pathways or integrated care have been used health for 20 years. Although are well established, little information exists their dissemination around world. The E-P-A has performed first international survey At present, with a minority...
Abstract Aim Clinical pathways are used worldwide to (re)organize care processes. They by multidisciplinary teams in their search towards excellence. The goal of this study is (1) assess differences the perception health professionals evaluation processes; (2) whether processes supported clinical perform better than those not pathways; and (3) sensitivity specificity predicting well‐organized Methods A cross‐sectional, multi‐centre was performed comprising 309 healthcare workers, 103 49...
