Outcome-based guidelines and clinical pathways in oncology were developed, implemented, and evaluated in two open-staffed community hospitals in California. These guidelines and paths were instituted in both the ambulatory and in-patient setting. Evaluation demonstrated a positive impact of these tools on outcomes and a corresponding reduction in costs. The success of a program of guidelines and clinical paths is contingent on a number of factors; however, the key to success is the meaningful involvement of physicians. Suggestions for ensuring this physician collaboration, based on our experience, are detailed.
基于结果的肿瘤学指南和临床路径在加利福尼亚州的两家开放式员工社区医院中制定、实施并进行了评估。这些指南和路径在门诊和住院环境中都得以应用。评估表明这些工具对结果产生了积极影响，并相应降低了成本。指南和临床路径项目的成功取决于多个因素；然而，成功的关键是医生的切实参与。基于我们的经验，详细介绍了确保医生协作的建议。
