Conclusions
In conclusion, acceptability of the 14 care pathways was evident by most statements being adopted or adapted. The adaptation process for 14 care pathways was accomplished in a relatively short timeframe, with a median time to accomplish the initial care pathway adaptation decision-making phase over 4.2 weeks per institution. The proportion of statements rejected by each institution ranged from 3.0% to 15.6%. Most commonly, the reason for rejection was not agreeing with the statement. Future work should focus on evaluation of care pathway compliance and determination of the impact of care pathway-consistent care on patient outcomes.
