Development of a Model Care Pathway for Myasthenia Gravis
Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a chronic, life-lasting condition that requires high coordination among different professionals and disciplines. The diagnosis of MG is often delayed and sometimes misdiagnosed. The goal of the care pathway (CP) is to add value to healthcare reducing unnecessary variations....

The quality of the care received by patients affected with MG could benefit from the use of CP. We conducted a study aimed to define an inclusive, comprehensive, and multidisciplinary CP for the diagnosis, treatment, and care of MG. The development of the model CP, key interventions, and process indicators is based on the literature review and 85 international MG experts were involved in their evaluation, expressing a judgment of relevance through the Delphi study. 60 activities are included in the model CP and evaluated by the MG experts were valid and feasible. The 60 activities were then translated into 14 key interventions and 24 process indicators. We believe that the developed model CP will help for MG patients to have a timely diagnosis and high-quality, accessible, and cost-effective treatments and care. We also believe that the development of model CPs for other rare diseases is feasible and could aid in the integration of evidence-based knowledge into clinical practice.Anil babu PayedimarriMatteo RattiRiccardo RescinitoAlessandra VasileDeborah SeysHervé DumasKris VanhaechtMassimiliano PanellaMDPI AGarticlemyasthenia graviscritical pathwaycare pathwaymodel pathwayintegrated care pathwayclinical pathwayMedicineRENInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Vol 18, Iss 11591, p 11591 (2021) |
