clinical pathways for total knee replacement

I am interested in sample pathways for total knee replacements.

My facility has had a pathway in use for several years now on TKA's. I will bring one home Monday and share it with you.

sorry puzzled but I forgot how long this is... 6 pages. Please email me. I also have ones for BIPOLAR hips and total hip arthoplasty. I would be happy to mail them to you via the snail mail if you like or fax.

I was reading your reply & I was wondering where you work in you facility. I am working in the preop area & would like to talk to someone who works in a preop area. I have many questions about what this new facility is asking the preop nurse to do. To me it seems alot. The paperwork is overwhelming even though we preregister pt's ahead of time. They don't seem to be concerned with pt safety ... iv jelco's left at the bedside & pulse oximeter not applied after versed administration. JCAHO I believe would not accept either practice.

I have Pathways for the Rehab stay of the TKR if you are interested.

I work in a small rural hospital that has begun total knee replacement. I am also interested in critical pathways for nursing. I checked the internet and found a few but they were at least 10 years old and am looking for more current info. Any help is greatly appreciated.
