Clinical pathway is a management tool utilized in hospitals in order to reduce variation in medical care as well as control health quality. Poor adherence to the clinical pathway documents most probably leads to deficiency in quality of care. This paper presents the result of an investigation for the role of clinical pathway document component (design) on the use of the clinical pathway tool in practice. We checked the content of three clinical pathway designs using the Integrated Care Pathway Appraisal Tool (ICPAT). Negative correlation between the compliance to ICPAT indicators and the completeness of third clinical pathway design has been obtained. Standard criteria in designing clinical pathway shows discrepancy which might be due to reluctances among the users to follow the lengthy procedure. In conclusion, user’s preferences need to be considered for more practical use of clinical pathway beside the standard documentation perfection in order to achieve its objectives.

Epistemology of Health, Quality of Life, Social Connectedness and the Contribution of Sports for Subjective Wellbeing In this article, literature about the perspectives on the understanding and epistemology of health is addressed. This evolutionary process has opened new terms for a wider understanding of health, quality of life and well-being. From this, concepts of health are addressed through the role of personal consciousness and intentionality within the group context, and the specific term subjective social well-being (SSWB) will be employed to explore social experiences through sports. Because health is a complex issue and because interventions need to be similarly complex, the science underpinning this work must integrate information from the many disciplines (medicine, nursing, psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics, political science, biology, history, law, and demography, among others). Finally, the role of physical activities and sports for the attaining of SSWB and fundamental questions for researchers will be discussed.
