RESUMO
During this study the use of a nurse-developed, patient-oriented critical pathway and its effects on two indicators of cost were analyzed at St. John Hospital and Medical Center in Detroit, Michigan. Financial data for 64 mastectomy cases were tracked and analyzed. Findings showed improved length of stay with substantial decreases in cost per case.
