This is an example computable clinical practice guideline (CPG) illustrating a congestive heart failure (CHF) care pathway.
The following diagram illustrates a Case/Plan Summary View for the guideline, showing the major components and how they fit together:
Overall, this is a patient-centric view, from the perspective of the congestive heart failure pathway, showing how the patient is progressing along the pathway, and providing the most relevant information and indicators.
The pathway has two strategies, CHF Daily Management, and CHF Hypervolemia. These strategies are then made up of recommendations. The Daily Management strategy is made up of the Weight, Weight Change, Urine Out, and Net IO's recommendations, and the Hypervolemia strategy is made up of the JVP, O2 Sat, Potassium, Creatinine, eGFR, LASIX, and Cardiology Consultation recommendations.
The timeline view in the center depicts patient events, proposals, and planned items as determined by the overall care pathway. Along the left-side of the timeline, the pathway event (or case feature) is named, and along the right-side of the timeline, a goal is provided for that case feature. The goal is defined by the pathway as part of the recommendation associated with that case feature.
Within the timeline view, events in green indicate metrics that are on-pathway, while events in grey indicate case features that aren't reported as metrics. Items in yellow are cautions that indicate actions should be considered, (such as measuring Jugular Venous Pressure), while events in red indicate values that are off-pathway or indicate immediate attention is needed.
The example CPG artifacts are organized as follows:
For the example case, a Patient is defined with
a Case, an Encounter,
and a Condition, establishing the patient
as having an admitting diagnosis of Congestive Heart Failure. This meets the Inclusion Criteria
defined by the group, and results in the patient being added to the pathway, and
included as a member of the CHF Group. This
results in the creation of a CarePlan, with
Daily Management and
Hypervolemia strategies. Each of these
strategies establish actions and goals for each of the recommendations.
