Care Pathways: Guiding Animals Through the Shelter

Care pathways have long been used in human medical care, and now they are being used successfully in animal care as well. Care pathways are standardized paths that guide a group of pets from intake to outcome and direct resources to the animals that need them. Care pathways aim to reduce shelter stay, providing high quality and efficient care for animals in your organization’s care, based upon their needs. During this course, you’ll learn about care pathways and how to create care pathways for your organization. You’ll generate a care pathway plan that meets your organization’s needs, including plans for implementation and evaluation.
