Clinical pathway development: the Overlake Model.
Overlake Hospital Medical Center has developed a multi-faceted Care Management Model to improve clinical and fiscal outcomes for selected patient populations. The Clinical Pathway Component of this model has been applied to high-volume, high-loss DRG groups. Success of the program can be attributed to the unique multidisciplinary problem solving approach, team building and a focus beyond the inpatient hospital stay.
