Order Description
A Disease Registry is a database for people diagnosed with a particular disease, such as diabetes or hypertension. Hospital Disease Registries are specific to that hospital. Population disease registries are specific to a focused geographical sector such as a city, state, country, etc. A Clinical Pathway illuminates a potential standard of practice for the care associated with a particular disease. The pathway is a guideline that is used to optimize outcomes. Clinical Pathways are multidisciplinary management tools for evidence-based healthcare delivery protocol optimization targeting a specific disease and expected clinical course. Protocols are also useful tools for facilitating the coordination of care. Outcomes-based practice (sometimes called outcomes management) involves a combination of teamwork, continuous quality improvement, and process and outcome measurement. Outcomes based data provide the framework for establishing a Clinical Pathway.
