The European Quality of Care Pathway (EQCP) study is the first, international, cluster randomized controlled trial launched to study the effect of the implementation of care pathways and to study why and under what circumstances pathways work. The study will be performed in Belgium, Italy, Ireland and Portugal and will include individual studies: a trial including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, a trial including proximal femur fracture patients and a trial focusing on multidisciplinary teamwork within both populations. The study is managed by the European Pathway Association in close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of the Catholic University Leuven (Belgium), the University of Eastern Piedmont (Italy), the National School of Public Health Lisbon (Portugal) and the Health Services Executive in Dublin (Ireland). This paper will describe the history, project management and overall approach of this international study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
