Clinical pathways (CP) are considered to be a tool of clinical process management describing the optimal route for diagnostic and therapeutic medical treatment of a specified patient. Apart from economic aspects CPs can make a contribution to optimization of health quality management as well as to improvement of medical staff and both patient satisfaction and patient safety whereas the feasibility and acceptance of evidence-based medicine guidelines are often found to be low. In order to stimulate critical discussion by offering the opportunity to easily gain first practical experience, a free web-based clinical pathway system for diagnosis and treatment for patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) will be presented.
