Western Sydney HealthPathways is a valuable online resource providing health professionals with quick and easy access to up-to-date, evidence-based information, resources, and referral options on a range of clinical categories.
In 2013, HealthPathways was launched as a partnership between the Western Sydney Primary Health Network (WSPHN), the Western Sydney Local Health District (WSLHD), and the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network (SCHN). Pathways are developed and regularly updated by the local HealthPathways clinical editorial team consisting of over 550 Western Sydney subject matter experts, including medical, dental, nursing, allied health specialists, pharmacists and general practitioners.
Haematologist for WSLHD, Dr Kris Ma recommends HealthPathways as a useful tool for addressing complex clinical issues:
“I think HealthPathways is most beneficial when a clinician comes up with a problem outside their clinical specialty, where a quick answer is needed. The clinician may be able to address the clinical issue directly through the instructions documented in HealthPathways, or at least be directed to the most appropriate personnel, thereby saving time and effort”.
