Alberta's Pathway Hub

Transforming Healthcare: One Pathway at a Time.

Alberta’s Pathway Hub: The provincial central location for trusted, evidence-informed clinical, patient and referral pathways. These pathways are co-designed by patients, primary care and specialty care providers to support Albertans. The aim is to maintain health, wellness and care within their community.

The Hub will be updated and maintained by the Provincial Pathways Unit in collaboration with the AHS Primary Health Care, Strategic Clinical NetworksTM, Specialist Link, ConnectMD, Access Improvement, Alberta Netcare eReferral, Alberta Referral Directory, and others.

Email AlbertaPathways@ahs.ca if you are developing a pathway; have a pathway already developed; or have feedback about a pathway posted here.
