Latest HealthPathways Melbourne case studies

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 three important areas of primary care: unsettled infants with frequent crying; transgender health, egg retrieval and surrogacy; and leg wounds with secondary infection.

• Unsettled infant with frequent crying: This case study explores how GPs can assess and support families presenting with concerns about frequent infant crying. It highlights how HealthPathways can assist with identifying possible causes, guiding appropriate management, and supporting families with clear referral and care options.
• Transgender health, egg retrieval and surrogacy: This case study examines how GPs can provide inclusive, patient-centred care for transgender patients navigating fertility preservation, egg retrieval and surrogacy. It demonstrates how HealthPathways can support GPs to access relevant clinical guidance, referral pathways and local service information.
• Leg wound with secondary infection: This case study looks at the management of a leg wound complicated by secondary infection in primary care. It highlights how HealthPathways can support GPs with assessment, wound management considerations, escalation advice and referral options when further specialist care is required.
