Transformation in action
Cardiff and Vale is an early adopter of the HealthPathways platform. The health board is working in close collaboration with Streamliners, who developed the product, alongside Canterbury DHB in New Zealand and South Tyneside CCG in Newcastle, who have both successfully implemented and embedded their version of HealthPathways.
To date, 33 pathways have been published. Further work is planned for developing the next wave of pathways and recruiting more subject matter experts to create the content. There is also scope to include social prescribing and social care pathways.
HealthPathways has the potential to improve patient experience, ease pressure on hospital sites and ensure that the core value of the Shaping Our Future Wellbeing transformation strategy was achieved: that a person’s chance of leading a healthy life should be the same wherever they live and whomever they are.
