HealthPathways

HealthPathways empowers clinicians with locally agreed information to make the best decisions, together with patients, at the point of care. Each pathway is evidence-informed, reflects local reality, and aims to preserve clinical autonomy and patient choice. HealthPathways serves to reduce unwarranted variation, and accelerate evidence into practice to ensure better and safer care.

HealthPathways is designed and written for use during a primary care consultation. Each pathway provides clear and concise guidance for assessing and managing a patient with a particular symptom or condition in primary care. Pathways also include information about making requests to services in the local health system.

Content is developed collaboratively by general practitioners, hospital clinicians, and a wide range of other health professionals. Each pathway is evidence-informed, but also reflects local reality, and aims to preserve clinical autonomy and patient choice. HealthPathways serves to reduce unwarranted variation and accelerate evidence into practice.

Mercy Health works closely together with HealthPathways to ensure all information on HealthPathways is correct and provides all required information to ensure patient referrals could be triaged promptly.
