Shrnutí	Clinical Pathway Analysis is a process improvement methodology that develops and evaluates standardized, evidence-based care plans for specific diagnoses or procedures. Clinical pathways map the expected course of care, including nursing interventions, diagnostic tests, medications, and patient education activities across time. By analyzing deviations from the pathway and tracking outcomes, organizations can identify opportunities to improve quality, reduce costs, and ensure consistent care delivery.	The Braden Scale is a standardized risk assessment instrument used in nursing to identify hospitalized patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers. Developed by Barbara Braden and Nancy Bergstrom in 1987, it remains one of the most widely adopted tools in clinical practice for pressure ulcer prevention. The scale combines assessment of intrinsic patient risk factors with extrinsic environmental factors.
