Abstract
This article describes the cost of developing and implementing an integrated care pathway (ICP) for Congestive Heart Failure. Costs were tracked prospectively and allocated to either development or implementation. The development took 1,980 hours of staff time at a salary cost of $67,800. The ICP implementation took 2,083 hours of personnel time at a salary cost of $66,900. Even though an available pathway was adapted for local use, a substantial amount of time and money was required. This article may be useful to others who are interested in monitoring costs of pathways.
