Canadian researchers have published a paper in JAMA that looks at the impact of clinical pathways on the care of nursing home residents with COPD. They looked at whether the use of a pathway could reduce hospitalisation, complications and costs and concluded that it could.
The paper is in JAMA: http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/295/21/2503 and the trial is registed in clinicaltrials.gov - go to http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct/show/NCT00157612?order=1 to see full details of the trial.
