Why do we organize a third E-P-A summer school?

Care pathways, also known as clinical pathways, critical path-ways, integrated care pathways or care maps, are now used throughout the world to systematically plan and follow up a patient focused care program. Despite their prevalence, many issues relating to pathways remain unsettled. The European Pathway Association (www.E-P-A.org) wants to support the development, implementation, evaluation and continuous follow up of care pathways. Therefore the E-P-A are organising a 5-day summer school to teach you the concepts of the care pathway methodology. This interactive summer school will combine educational courses lead by experienced teachers with discus-sions, international group work and time to work under super-vision on your own pathway project. At the end of the 5 days you will be able to systematically plan, develop and follow up your own pathway projects.

The first and second Summer School, in 2007 and 2008, were a real success. Based on the evaluation and the advise of the delegates we slightly revised the content and timing but we are really looking forward to be back in Orta, share our knowledge on pathways and learn from your experiences. In 2009 we did not organise a summer school because of the startup of the European Quality of Care Pathway study which took all our energy and time.

If you have further questions on this summer school, please do not hesitate to contact us via our E-P-A office manager Mrs. Alexandra Pardon.
