摘要：

Critical paths are tools to manage healthcare delivery and ensure favorable patient outcomes. Unfortunately, many of these paths are not evaluated or revised after their initial development. One potential problem faced by nursing managers is that critical paths may lose relevance in a rapidly changing healthcare environment. The authors suggest one strategy to strengthen existing critical paths in a way that is responsive to these changes.
