Sintesi	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.	Medication Reconciliation is a systematic process of identifying and resolving discrepancies between the medications a patient should be taking and what they are actually taking. Endorsed by The Joint Commission as a National Patient Safety Goal, medication reconciliation occurs at critical transition points such as hospital admission, transfer between units, and discharge. The process reduces medication errors and adverse drug events that can result from omissions, duplications, or interactions.
