摘要: Background. Cost containment is a reality in thoracic surgery. Patient care pathways have proved effective cardiac surgery to reduce length of stay and control costs. Methods. A multidisciplinary team formulated pulmonary lobectomy patient pathway standardize care, costs, maintain quality. Variance codes were developed collect data prospectively on reasons for prolonged stay. satisfaction survey was instituted learn patients' responses their hospitalization. Results. One hundred forty-seven patients underwent 1995 before institution the with mean 10.6 days cost $16,063. The at beginning 1996. thirty 1996 7.5 ( p = 0.03) $14,792 0.47). Readmission mortality rates unchanged. Eighty-eight 130 (68%) able be discharged by target 7 as opposed 76 147 (52%) 1995. most common reason delayed discharge inadequate pain control. majority felt prepared seventh postoperative day (70 96 patients, 73%). Conclusions. appeared provided framework begin systematic quality measures enhance care.
