          Abstract

          The project focused on the design, implementation and evaluation of an electronic integrated care pathway (eICP), within a Mother and Baby Unit. Health care professionals and service users (stakeholders) were involved in the process in order to promote patient centred, co-constructed care. Questionnaire and discussion groups were used for data collection regarding the initial eICP development. Of 15 participants who took part in the design and development of the eICP, seven were able to take part in the evaluation process on the Unit. Results show that 100% (n = 7) of the participants were in agreement with the eICP and the format that was produced and implemented for trial on the Unit. Increased ownership of records, greater multi disciplinary involvement and enhanced patient experience were also reported. Recommendations for clinical practice include resource management, ownership of the research group, holism maintenance and the acquisition of computer skills.
