Comments

Care Process Models (CPMs) promote evidence-based, safe, and high-value care for patients with common or high-risk clinical conditions when national or international guidelines are unavailable or applicable. CPMs are informed by a methodical review of scientific literature and the consensus of a multidisciplinary committee of subject matter experts and key stakeholders at Children’s Mercy Kansas City. Processes within CPMs may be specific to Children’s Mercy Kansas City and should be evaluated before applying to a different setting.
