Alliant Health System (Alliant) was an enthusiastic, early user of critical paths in a hospital setting. In spite of its apparent early successes with the approach, Alliant eventually dropped critical paths as an overall corporate strategy and redesigned its approach to those critical paths still in use. This article summarizes the lessons learned and offers suggestions on the use of critical paths.
