Key Words	Pathway; Fecal incontinence; Quality improve­ment
Core Tip	Critical pathways and process mapping methodology was used in industry since the 1950s and in medical field since the 1980s. This randomised trial describes the implementation of the Integrated Rapid Assessment and Treatment pathway, that was designed to provide a seamless multidisciplinary care to patients with faecal incontinence in a timely fashion, and com-pares it to the current standard of care. Although, there was no significant difference in quality-of-life and incontinence scores after completion of management, the new pathway positively influenced patient’s mindset, as shown by the higher satisfaction scores. This is likely to reflect the structured support and thorough education patients in this group received.
