Disease Pathway Maps (pathways) are a quality improvement tool for the Ontario cancer system. The pathways are flowcharts that show a high-level overview of the care a cancer patient in Ontario should receive. The pathways focus on one type of cancer, during a specific phase of the cancer journey, with the understanding that the patient journey differs from one cancer to another. The pathways are intended for cancer system and medical community stakeholders, including healthcare providers and administrators. The pathways may also serve as a resource for individuals who are new to the cancer system, such as medical students. The pathways are not meant to be educational resources for patients. Pathways are currently available for lung cancer and prostate cancer. Read more here.
