What is HealthPathways?

HealthPathways is a web-based, location specific information portal designed by clinicians to help you navigate your patient through the primary, tertiary, and community healthcare systems. Each pathway is evidence-based and helps you identify a streamlined care plan and referral process, whilst reserving clinical autonomy and patient preference.

HealthPathways aims to:

• encourage collaboration
• improve the health experience
• identify appropriate referral pathways
• ensure correct pre-referral tests are completed
• reduce the time patients spend on waiting lists
• enhance the quality of referrals to minimise rejection
• enhance clinical knowledge and promote best practice
• ensure the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
