Implementing HealthPathways across Queensland: A case study

Dr Tom Love of Sapere conducted a case study of the implementation of HealthPathways in Queensland.  HealthPathways is a platform that provides tailored, locally relevant guidance to general practitioners on the management of conditions in the community and referral to specialist hospital services. HealthPathways is intended to increase the consistency of referral patterns, avoiding unnecessary referrals where patients can be managed in primary care, and freeing up resource to increase access to specialist care for those patients who need it.
