CONGRESS ABSTRACT

Background In cardiology, the management of low-complexity procedures necessitates a shift from traditional organizational models. The development of structured care pathways, grounded in clearly defined multiprofessional collaboration, addresses the critical need for safety, clinical appropriateness, and operational efficiency. Aim To describe the design and implementation of a multiprofessional organizational pathway for the management of low-complexity cardiac procedures. Methods A structured organizational pathway was developed within a cardiology unit, based on an analysis of the local operational context and a definition of required professional competencies. The model integrates collaboration among physicians, nurses, and cardiac physiology technicians, supported by dedicated training, shared procedural protocols, and precise role allocation. Governance was maintained through structured organizational tools, including: Pre- and post-procedure briefing and debriefing sessions. Process flow charts and a defined responsibility matrix . Standardized checklists for continuous and final process evaluation. The model's performance was evaluated using predefined process and safety indicators, monitored through periodic reviews. Results The multiprofessional pathway proved to be both feasible and sustainable in routine clinical practice. The structured integration of professionals led to improved workflow organization, more efficient resource allocation, and the maintenance of high safety standards, thereby ensuring continuity of care within the cardiology service. Conclusions The implementation of multiprofessional organizational pathways is an effective strategy for managing low-complexity cardiac procedures. This model offers a sustainable and potentially replicable approach that aligns with the evolving organizational requirements of modern cardiology settings.
