Spanish term
ruta asistencial
Spanish to English
Medical
Medical: Cardiology
Term appears in (and is the subject matter of) an Iberian Spanish medical PP presentation about healthcare processes for a specific disease, in this case acute coronary syndrome. From what I can make out, the term is increasingly common in Spain and is used to define an agreement made between healthcare professionals to establish a commonly accepted pattern or process for persons suffering from a particular condition.

: I am more familiar with clinical pathway (sometimes referred to as care pathway, care map or critical pathway, which convey the same idea anyhow).

Reference:
ruta asistencial
Indeed, it refers to an established group of measures or 'blueprint' as a formalised standard response to a health issue. My suggestion for English would be 'protocol'. My etymological guess is a shortening for 'hoja de ruta' (map, plan of a trip, project, etc.).

Reference:
clinical pathway
Con el sentido planteado por Timothy, las vías clínicas (especificación de procesos asistenciales determinados, a veces denominados rutas asistenciales; clinical pathways, care pathways, critical pathways, care maps; a veces también, de manera más específica -no incluyen las secuencias diagnósticas, por ejemplo-, treatment pathways) son adaptaciones de las recomendaciones clínicas o de los protocolos asistenciales a la práctica clínica particular, que definen el qué, quién, cuándo, dónde y cómo de una actuación clínica sobre un problema de salud con necesidades diagnósticas y terapéuticas predecibles. Por otro lado, los procesos asistenciales integrados (PAI; integrated care pathways) representarían un nivel discretamente más amplio de análisis y recomendaciones que incluirían, entre otros documentos, vías clínicas específicas.
Ver aquí, por ejemplo:
Procesos Asistenciales Integrados, Protocolos de atención y Vías clínicas
http://www.san.gva.es/web/calidad/protocolos-de-atencion;jse...
A clinical pathway is a document outlining a standardised, evidence-based multidisciplinary management plan, which identifies the appropriate sequence of clinical interventions, timeframes, milestones and expected outcomes for a homogenous patient group. (Quality Improvement and Enhancement Program, Clinical Pathways Board: 2002).

Care pathways, also known as clinical pathways or integrated care pathways, are typically characterized as a method for managing patient care based on clinical practice guidelines, with the main goals of improving quality of care, reducing variation in clinical practice and increasing the efficient use of health care resources.
