Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Critical pathways are specific care plans that establish a sequence of interventions, resulting in an anticipated patient outcome. They integrate the care plans of diverse health practitioners and establish shared goals, protocols and standards of care for patients with specific conditions. Clinical integrative plans are not commonly used terminology in healthcare, and diagnosis-related groups are a classification system used for hospital reimbursement. Treatment plans refer to individualized care plans for specific patients, but do not necessarily involve coordinated care between multiple healthcare practitioners.
