Care Pathways

About Care Pathways

A care pathway is an evidence-based approach to introducing and standardizing patient-centred care for the diagnosis, management, and/or treatment of a condition.

Care pathways are region-specific, and consider local resources and constraints.

Care Pathway Goals

  1. Educate providers & caregivers about screening & guidelines.

  2. Teach how to screen.

  3. Train where & how to connect with treatment after screening & diagnosis.

  4. Collect & compare outcomes for:

    • cases missed/detected & treated late

    • cases detected & treated early
