Critical Pathways
Critical Pathways are resources and training methods to help your healthcare team optimize their clinical approach with focus on communication, accountability, and person-centered care. Also, they help to systematize your clinical approach with focus on person-centered care and position your team to reduce unnecessary variations and services. Consistent utilization of Critical Pathways will increase interdisciplinary team communication, decrease unnecessary complications, improve continuity of care between post-acute providers, and provide high quality of services to every resident.
Gravity Healthcare Consulting’s Critical Pathways Program follows 7-day and 14-day models with focus on excellence in resident care and improving functional outcomes.
There are 12 critical pathways, which includes six that are 7-day pathways and six that are 14-day pathways.

- Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
- Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
- Myocardial Infarction (MI)
- Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA)
- Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA)

Each diagnosis has a pathway for the Care Navigator, Admissions, Administrator, Nursing, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Director of Rehab, Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapist, Speech-Language Pathologist, MDS Coordinator, Social Services, Dietary, and Activities Director.
Includes a Resident Pathway that welcomes the resident to your community. The Resident Pathway is a general outline for what a resident and/or family or caregiver are to expect when a resident enters your community from Day 1 through discharge and post-discharge.
Includes a pre-admission process outlining pertinent information and communication needed for the coordination of the resident’s transition from acute care to post-acute care.
Includes a post-discharge process that involves multiple departments, who will contact each resident and/or family member to ensure post-acute services are being delivered according to the discharge plan with the goal of ensuring the resident’s needs are continuing to be met and provide continued support throughout the 30 days post-discharge from skilled nursing.
