Question 16 of 35

Structure Care Methodologies

:
1. Binary decision trees that guide step wise assessment and intervention
2. Useful in management of high-risk subgroups w/in the cohort, may be layered on top of a pathway to control care practices that are used to manage a specific problem
3. Intense specificity, no provider flexibility
4. May use analytical research methods to ensure cause/effect


1. Represents a sequential, interdisciplinary, minimal practice standard for a specific patient population
2. Provides flexibility to alter care to meet individualized patient needs
3. Ability to measure cause/effect relationship between pathway and patient outcomes


1. Broad, research based practice recommendations
2. May or may not have been tested in clinical practice
3. No mechanism for ensuring practice implementation


1. Preprinted provider orders used to expedite the order process after a practice standard has been validated through analytical research
2. Compliments and increases compliance w/existing practice standards
3. Can be used to represent the algorithm or protocol in order format


1. Prescribes specific therapeutic interventions for a clinical problem unique to a subgroup of patients w/the cohort
2. Multifaceted; may be used to drive practice for more than one discipline
3. Broader specificity than an algorithm; allows for minimal provider flexibility by way of treatment option
4. May be layered on top of a pathway
