From: Clinical and operational insights from data-driven care pathway mapping: a systematic review
Enhancing data | Scope or definition |
|---|---|
Outcomes | Clinical or other outcomes |
Biomarkers | Clinical biomarkers; may be a biochemical marker or another disease or patient specific feature |
Guidelines | Clinical or other formal guidelines |
Comorbidities/complications | Where the care pathway perspective is not specifically disease based (“Clinical context” type, Table 5) |
Prescriptions | Where the care pathway perspective is not specifically prescription based (“Clinical context” type, Table 5) |
Clinical classification | For example, a triage score |
Physical information | Geographical or local, where the care pathway perspective is not “location” as described in Table 5. Includes comparison of care processes across multiple sites |
Other medical data | Ontologies of medical or surgical classification; treatment templates falling short of formal guidelines; comparator datasets; results from expert review panels |
