Murrumbidgee HealthPathways

HealthPathways is an online decision support tool designed for general practice and primary care teams, to be used at the point of care. It provides information on how to assess and manage medical conditions, and how to refer patients to local specialists and services in the most timely way.

  • MBGHP is designed to be used by a local healthcare professional . However it is also available to healthcare professionals across the state for use within their scope of practice.  

    MBGHP is not designed to be used by the general community. Depending on the specific pathway, relevant patient resources are available on the portal for health professionals to offer to patients.  

  • If you are a health-care  professional in the Murrumbidgee region and would like to access the MGBHP website, please register for access via the Portal.

    • Select specific logs relevant to their CPD, and add reflections and learning notes.

    • Generate a PDF report for easy submission to CPD organisations.

  • Smart Search is an AI-enhanced alternative to the existing search function in HealthPathways.

    It helps clinicians find precise information faster when it matters most – at the point of care. It frees up precious time and maintains the natural flow of the consultation, so clinicians can spend more time focusing on their patients and less time searching for information.

  • The HealthPathways program in the Murrumbidgee region is governed and financed largely by the Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network. The program also works closely with the Murrumbidgee Local Health District.

    The Murrumbidgee HealthPathways Steering Committee provides strategic direction for the Murrumbidgee HealthPathways program

    The HealthPathways team includes GP Clinical Editors, Clinical Coordinators and a GP Clinical Lead.

  • If you are a GP, medical specialist, nurse, allied health or other health care practitioner who would like to suggest a clinical area or condition for a new pathway, please contact the Murrumbidgee HealthPathways team via HealthPathways@mphn.org.au.

    Clinical Working Groups (CWGs) consisting of specialists, GPs, allied health and key stakeholders, are established to identify issues affecting patient care in a particular service area. They propose solutions to issues identified, and while CWGs do not write or sign off on pathways, they will review or comment on them. If you are interested in getting involved please email the HealthPathways team healthpathways@mphn.org.au.
