Alberta's Pathways Hub - Feedback wanted
The provincial central location for trusted, evidence-informed clinical, patient and referral pathways, the Hub is maintained by the Provincial Pathways Unit (PPU). The PPU is requesting assistance from primary care providers in reviewing the pathways below – please explore and email AlbertaPathways@ahs.ca if you have feedback.
 
All pathways developed with the PPU are designed with a network of partners including patient and family advisors, primary care providers, specialists and other multidisciplinary clinical professionals as required.
 
Abnormal Uterine Bleeding and Post-Menopausal Bleeding Clinical and Patient Pathways:
  • The provincial Abnormal Uterine Bleeding and Post-Menopausal Bleeding pathways indicate what investigations are recommended, provide management options for in the community and determine when specialty care might be needed.
  • The pathways include considerations for trauma informed care and offer links to relevant Alberta guidelines including STI treatment, blood transfusion guidelines and iron-deficiency anemia pathways.
Lower Limb Ischemia Clinical and Patient Pathways:
  • The Lower Limb Ischemia Primary Care Clinical Pathway supports clinicians with the conservative management of patients who experience lower limb claudication. The clinical pathway also presents severity thresholds for referral. An important feature of the clinical pathway is that referral is based on a patient’s reported severity of symptoms and any quality of life or mobility impacts.
  • The accompanying patient pathway is a resource that mirrors the clinical pathway, and it provides expanded information for patients to help address whole-person health considerations.

Provincial Adult Vascular Surgery Referral Pathway:

  • A new provincial referral pathway was developed to ensure the appropriate amount of information is included throughout the referral process to triage the patient as quickly as possible.

Please provide any feedback you have regarding these referral pathways (or others).
