Te Manawa Taki Pathways of Care team, in conjunction with Pinnacle, hosted a 45 minute webinar to share the most up-to-date information in the region about the assessment and management of Hepatitis C and a range of sexual health conditions as provided in the clinical pathways. The team also demonstrated HealthPathways, providing a practical understanding of how to best use this web-based tool.
HealthPathways is an online manual used by clinicians to help make assessment, management, and specialist request decisions for more than 550 conditions, from abdominal pain through to Zika Virus.
