The Map provides clinicians with best practice pathways that represent an ideal approach to care from a clinical perspective, incorporating evidence-based information, expert knowledge and national policy. It is an easy to use, web-based solution that is now accessible from NHS Evidence.
Healthcare communities use Map of Medicine pathways as a starting point for clinically-led service improvement, adapting them to reflect service redesign decisions made to meet local challenges. Locally-adapted pathways on the Map are visible across organisations, allowing innovation to be shared quickly. By logging in, clinicians in England and Wales can access locally-adapted pathways, as well as personalisation features and local referral information.
More than 50 healthcare communities are now using the Map to achieve lower healthcare delivery costs, an improved patient experience, reduced hospital admissions and lowered waiting times.
NHS Evidence provides free access to clinical and non-clinical information that demonstrates what high quality care looks like and how to deliver it.
