Підсумок	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 Care Dependency Scale (CDS) is a comprehensive assessment tool that measures the degree of care dependency in patients by evaluating their ability to perform activities of daily living and manage their health conditions independently. Developed by Atie Dijkstra and colleagues, the CDS focuses on physical independence and social engagement, providing a quantitative measure of nursing workload and care requirements. It is particularly useful in long-term care, rehabilitation, and geriatric settings.
