Managed Care (MC) is a multidisciplinary model for health care delivery that organizes and sequences the caregiving process. Its objectives include: 1) to reduce length of stay and resource consumption, and 2) to measure, maintain or improve patient outcomes related to care received. Our tertiary care facility is the first Canadian hospital to implement MC. Patient care is directed through the use of a Care Map. Each map is specific to a pathological state and its treatment, i.e. Total Knee Replacement (TKR), and consists of a Patient Problem List, with related patient-centred outcomes, and a Critical Path. The Critical Path outlines the temporal sequence of the provision of care. Most key events on a Care Map are determined anecdotally. The purpose of this project was to collect outcome information in patients assigned to the Total Knee Replacement Care Map in an attempt to validate the existing Care Map or make recommendations for revisions. Inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of knee range of motion-was calculated using the Intra Class Correlation Coefficient (ICC). ICC values ranged from .64-.97. Seventeen patients were assessed. All patients were measured on Day 6 and 8 of the Care Map. This process has resulted in validation of certain range estimates and recommendations for revision of others.
