計劃評核及要徑法應用於臨床路徑，以肺葉切除術為例

健康照顧產業由於經營成本的考量，對於臨床流程的控管愈來愈重視。臨床路徑目前已廣泛運用於臨床流程的控管，但其效能仍有限制。在此我們將另一種過去使用於產業界，但尚未廣泛應用於醫療產業的流程控管方式：計劃評核與要徑法加以介紹，以肺癌肺切除術的疾病模式，說明其運用於臨床醫療管理的方法與效能。
Healthcare management pay more and more attention on new tools for planning and managing clinical processes. The clinical pathway, which design and document the process in the industry, has been widely applied in the healthcare system. However, the other common tools used in industries to perform the process design, the Program evaluation and review technique (PERT) and critical path method (CPM), have not migrated to he healthcare system. In this article, we will present the principles and the applications of PERT/CPM in the field of clinical process (lobectomy for lung carcinoma model).
