Abstract

Starting a pathway program from the ground up requires specific building blocks and certain personality traits: persistence, flexibility, and the ability to work with others. Carol Freeborn, RN, started a pathway program in the early 1990s at Mercy Hospital in Toledo, OH. She shares her experience and advice for others who are starting pathway programs in their own facilities.

[Internet communication between family physicians and the university hospital].

The potential of electronic communication in medicine is assessed based on an analysis of a pilot project pertaining to internet based communication among referring and hospital physicians. Advantages of electronic data exchange in medicine pertain to speed and capacity for data transfer, availability of data and data integration, ultimately enabling consistent medical case management. Quality requirements of electronic communication of medical data are related to safety, availability, data integration, potential for case management and system qualities. Medical efficiency can be increased by use of electronic communication only if complex functions beyond the substitution of conventional mail by e-mail are implemented and an exhaustive use of the technology can be achieved.
