Popis:	Methods A clinical pathway to assist in the management of patients undergoing bowel resection was developed by a multidisciplinary team and implemented. Data about length of stay and cost was collected for all patients undergoing bowel resection 1 year before and 1 year after pathway implementation. Three groups were compared: patients undergoing bowel resection in the year prior to pathway implementation (prepathway), patients in the year after pathway implementation but not included on the pathway (nonpathway), and patients included in the pathway (pathway).
