HealthPathways Melbourne provides clinicians with a single website to access clinical and referral pathways, and resources. Pathways are created by local GPs, working in partnership with specialists, nurses, allied health and other health professionals.

Mercy Health recommends clinicians to access HealthPathways Melbourne for guidance in assessing, managing and referring for patient conditions (login required).

Referrals to outpatient clinics at Mercy Health will be triaged against clinical information and investigations based on these guidelines.

Referrals that do not meet the required clinical information and investigations will not be accepted.

HealthPathways Melbourne is available for free to health professionals working in the North Western Melbourne and Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network catchments.

Email HealthPathways to request access or if you need to confirm your username and password.

These referral criteria have been developed to improve access to specialist clinics in public hospitals by improving the quality and appropriateness of referrals.

In a multidisciplinary care setting, patients with cancer receive treatment and support from a number of health professionals and services.  A multidisciplinary team approach enables all of a patient’s needs to be considered when formulating and recommended a treatment plan. One forum for such discussions is Cancer Multidisciplinary Meeting (MDM).
