Abstract
Implementation of a cystectomy care pathway significantly decreased length of stay without an increased rate of readmissions at 30 days. No patient factors predisposed to an increased rate of readmission. Pathway implementation led to a decrease in wound and deep space infection readmissions, but was associated with an increase in urinary tract infection readmissions. Further studies are examining if early intervention can further decrease readmission rates.
