The Dominican Santa Cruz Hospital in Santa Cruz, CA offers a model of variance tracking which is both easy to use and meets standards set by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.

The clinical pathway involves documentation of predicted patient outcomes and expected staff actions.
