Abstract
We introduced a unified format called “All in one path” from the start of the critical pathway in our hospital. The whole time pathway from admission to discharge includes the days of various examinations. We extracted and used a single path sheet for the day of an examination. But this sheet was inappropriate for “All in one path”. So we examined the contents of the path sheet, changed the sheet size from A 4 to A 5 and called it “Petit path”. A definition of “Petit path” is A 5 size “All in one path” used for examinations or dispositions to inpatients. We use eight “Petit path” for examinations and three for operations.“Petit path” is bound to the lower half of the right page of a hospital sheet, so a doctor can record his notes on the left page and staff can look at the information on the patient on the upper half of the right page. By making out the “Petit path” we standardize care and establish an outcome, and by analyzing the variances of the “Petit path” we improve care. We want to make out many other “Petit path” for various examinations and operations.
