Abstract
Although it is agreed that there is a need for clinical pathway variance analysis, methods for creating a system are less well defined. To help others down this path, we have developed a list of questions around four core issues: data collection, data entry and analysis, data reporting, and organizational support. Our goal is to identify key questions related to variance management and provide a framework for clinical pathway variance analysis.
