Patient pathway coordination

The aim is to describe, analyze, understand and evaluate the coordination of the care pathway, in order to identify areas for improvement. The aim is also to understand how to personalize, on a large scale, the care of military casualties by the service providing the care, the Service de Santé des Armées (SSA). The theoretical framework of large-scale management of singularity will be mobilized to explore the organization and rationalization of care production, during its development and implementation. The conceptual framework of pragmatism will be used to investigate the pathway. Indeed, care, care pathways and their coordination are characterized more by lived situations and performed actions than by established processes. Other frameworks such as coordination theory and sensemaking theory can be mobilized, in a complementary way, to capture new knowledge that simple observation would not allow.

Triggering coordination.

The aim is to describe an essential process in the care pathway: coordination and its initiation.  Although coordination is not specific to care, it is playing an increasingly important role. Indeed, it has emerged as an essential part of managing the care pathway for complex and chronic patients, as well as a weapon for improving care efficiency and combating waste.
Our research question focused on describing the meaning of coordination, through its triggering. Our approach consisted of a literature review and a field survey in hospital-based care pathway coordination units. Our approach to the meaning of coordination led us to choose the theory of sensemaking in order to observe, in the field, the creation of meaning through the triggering of coordination. The results provided some answers to our question, as we were able to describe this triggering process and compare our findings with previous research.
