| dc.description.abstract | Background: A clinical pathway is a concept of an integrated service which describes the stages of healthcare
services from the admission until the return of patients based on the medical service standards and evidencebased
nursing
care
with
measurable
results.
Kaliwates
General
Hospital
is
an
accredited
hospital
with
a
clinical
pathway.
Typhoid
case
was
the
highest
disease
in
2017
at
Kaliwates
General
Hospital.
Aims:
This
study
aims
to
describe
the
resources
at
Kaliwates
General
Hospital
in
the
implementation
of
clinical
pathways,
especially
typhoid
fever
treatment.
Method:
This study was a descriptive and qualitative study. Nine respondents were selected using purposive
sampling, including one internist and the quality team at Kaliwates General Hospital. The variables studied include
human resource factors, budget factors, method factors, and time factors.
Results: The results suggested that the human resources at Kaliwates General Hospital had high commitment,
motivation, and moderate knowledge in the implementation of clinical pathways. All equipment and documents
were considered adequate. The communication among the implementers was good, but compliance and training
for staffs were considered less prominent. The task division of each staff was fairly distributed even though the
pharmacy unit perceived that the division was quite unfair.
Conclusion: The implementation of the clinical pathway for typhoid fever treatment at Kaliwates General Hospital
runs quite well. The hospital must identify and plan staff training regularly, prepare the job description
appropriately, and perform performance appraisal based on the job description that has been developed. | en_US |
