Based on the practice of large tertiary hospitals in clinical pathway (CP) entrance management, we implemented a fine CP management model with standardized clinical diagnosis and treatment, and encouraged the department to continuously optimize the path form, expand CP coverage and improve the entry rate in a flexible path. Combining PDCA cycles with CP management, it can promote the realization of management goals and achieve continuous improvement, while providing operable (repeatable) methods to the practice of hospital CP management.
