Abstract
Care pathways in modern healthcare aim to improve care and reduce healthcare costs. Healthcare providers are under high pressure and this affects the quality of work among healthcare providers. Care pathways could be seen as a tool to reduce the pressure on healthcare providers, which will be good for the quality of work and care. At the moment, there is little knowledge about how care pathways influence the quality of work among healthcare providers. The objective of this research is to provide an overview of how care pathways influence the quality of work among healthcare providers since an overview about this is lacking. A systematic review is conducted in the form of a narrative synthesis. The quality of work is divided into three indicators, namely job demands, job control and social support. The findings showed that healthcare providers have different views on how care pathways influence these indicators. Overall, care pathways have a positive impact on the quality of work, but it does depend on what position the healthcare provider is in and how the indicators are interrelated. Further research is needed to get a broader understanding of how care pathways influence the quality of work among healthcare providers.
