Get in touch View all productsPut prevention into practice
Pathway helps healthcare organisations create and deliver care pathways around the needs of their population. Using clinical data to identify patients who could benefit, it supports earlier intervention and referral to appropriate services through EMIS-X®.
From preventative programmes to long-term condition management, connect patients with care that can help prevent ill health or stop conditions getting worse.
"Tools like Pathway show that there is a new way to work with primary care. We’re no longer waiting for GPs to refer into us - we’re actively going out, finding those patients in primary care, and bringing them to us."
Create pathways around local needs
Bring your population health priorities into everyday care. Pathway can be configured around locally agreed clinical criteria and programmes, helping you connect the patients you want to reach with the interventions and services available to support them.
Simple searches or more advanced algorithms help identify eligible patient groups, giving teams a focused starting point for review and action.
Connect patients with the right support
Help teams move from identifying a need to arranging care. Within EMIS-X, primary care teams can review identified patients and refer them onto an appropriate pathway.
Relevant patient information can be shared securely with the service delivering care, supported by agreed permissions and data sharing arrangements. This helps teams coordinate earlier intervention across primary, community and specialist services.
