Latest HealthPathways Melbourne case studies

23 October 2025

HealthPathways Melbourne regularly publishes case studies to highlight how the platform supports GPs in accessing the most up-to-date treatment pathways for their patients.

The latest case studies focus on two important areas of primary care: Deprescribing and Melanoma management.

  • Deprescribing: This case study explores how GPs can approach medication review and withdrawal in older patients or those on multiple long-term prescriptions. It highlights practical strategies and tools available on HealthPathways to support safe deprescribing, minimise adverse drug events, and improve patient outcomes.
  • Melanoma: The second case study examines best-practice approaches to the detection, diagnosis, and ongoing management of melanoma in primary care. It demonstrates how HealthPathways assists GPs in identifying appropriate referral pathways, coordinating care with specialists, and supporting early intervention to enhance survival rates.
