Core Tip	We wanted to improve the quality and streamline the process of treatment in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) by introducing a clinical pathway (CP) and control of indicators of quality (IOQ). Our results showed that the use of a CP and control of IOQ improved the treatment of patients with AP, as assessed by the following observed parameters: reduced length of stay, reduced percentage of unexplained aetiology cases and reduced use of antibiotic therapy (without changes in total mortality).
