surgical pathways

Surgical pathways are organized plans that guide how patients move through the process of surgery, from initial consultation to recovery. They ensure that each step—such as assessments, preparations, the procedure itself, and follow-up care—is coordinated efficiently. These pathways help healthcare teams deliver consistent, timely, and safe care, reducing delays and improving patient outcomes. By standardizing procedures based on best practices, surgical pathways make the experience smoother for patients and support healthcare providers in delivering high-quality surgical care.
