Abstract		Integrated care pathways are structured multidisciplinary care plans which detail essential steps in the care of patiens with a specific clinical problem. They have been proposed as a way of encouraging the translation of national guidelines into local protocols and their subsequent application to clinical practice. In KC Ljubljana we started to develop the integrated care pathway for colorectal cancer shortly after the launch of the national clinical guidelines for colorectal cancer. With the introduction of care pathways to clinical practice we hope to increase the use of guidelines, facilitate the systematic, continuing audit, to reduce the cost of medical care and improve its quality.
