Hospitals must integrate and coordinate a diverse set of production factors including information technology, critical processes, inventories, and facility resources. The constant changes that are routine challenges in the modern healthcare organization, including growth, innovation, changing patient demographics, and financial modifications, have a significant impact on the organization's ability to manage information and present challenges to developing and maintaining quality processes - and to decision-making in general.

Tieto's Clinical Pathways solution improves the quality of patient care and eases the adoption of a process orientation within the patient care environment. This solution and supporting services are effectively digitalizing treatment processes and enabling a high quality of care - while optimizing the financial performance of healthcare service providers. At every stage of the patient's treatment process, Clinical Pathways is focused on keeping staff up to date - providing the right information at any time and any place.

Quality of care and patient safety are increased by best practices and shared processes.

Clinical Pathways enables you to:

• Improve the outcome of treatment through evidence-based medical practice
• Identify and implement the best clinical practices, adapted to each patient
• Enhance quality of care by identifying the path to continuous quality improvement
• Empower patients through the sharing of clinical pathways information
• Shorten hospital stays
• Reduce redundant examinations
• Focus only on needed examinations

Clinical Pathways helps you accomplish these objectives by:

• Defining multidisciplinary processes in workshops facilitated by Tieto
• Automating ordering routines
• Providing an up-to-date overview for each patient on a pathway
• Providing objective data allowing management to steer and lead the organization
