This is the first practical guide on how Information Technology and systems methods can support the development, implementation and maintenance of "e-Pathways". Case studies throughout highlight team approaches to facilitation, clinical knowledge management, process analysis and redesign, and computerisation – providing insights into how e-Pathways can be used to support high quality patient care. The information is presented in an easy-to-read style, and requires no prior knowledge of IT systems.
An accompanying CD-ROM includes supplementary information, providing useful Web site links, and additional material on specific topic areas.
