Clinician Assist WA helps health professionals navigate their patients through the complex primary, community and tertiary health care systems.

 

 
 

     

Clinician Assist WA has replaced HealthPathways WA and continues to be managed locally by WA Primary Health Alliance. It provides access to the same trusted local guidance, features and functionality and will remain free to users.


Delivered by WA Primary Health Alliance and in collaboration with WA Department of Health, this secure website provides GPs and other health professionals with guidance for assessing, managing and referring patients across Western Australia at no cost.

The aim of the site is to improve health equity by providing registered health professionals working in WA with access to up-to-date and consistent clinical and referral information to support all Western Australians.

More than 650 clinical and referral pathways have been localised for WA. These have been developed considering different patient population needs, and locally available resources and referral options (when available). Unlike traditional guidelines, clinical and referral pathways are succinct and easily used during a consultation. They are evidence-based and summarise locally relevant and agreed-upon assessment, management, and referral advice on key patient presentations.

If you would like to learn more about Clinician Assist WA or if you are interested in a demonstration for you or your practice, please contact us via email clinicianassist@wapha.org.au
 

Benefits for health professionals

  • Accelerates the delivery of evidence into practice and supports health professionals to provide the right care, at the right time, in the right place.
  • Supports health professionals in facilitating a seamless and complete patient journey by combining clinical and health service information in one place.
  • Clinician Assist WA integrates Referral Access Criteria (RAC) into applicable pages (where possible) to simplify the referral process.
 

Access to Clinician Assist WA

Although primarily written for GPs, all health professionals registered to practice in WA can register for access to the site.

Previous users of HealthPathways WA must re-register and set up a unique login, as part of the improved security of this new site. 

Health professionals registered with AHPRA will be automatically verified by the system and given immediate access. All other users may experience a slightly longer verification period.

For a comprehensive guide to Clinician Assist WA, live demonstrations will be available monthly and are CPD accredited for 1 Educational Hour through RACGP. See the event flyer to view upcoming dates and to register.
