The key functions of the local Hospital HealthPathways Clinical Editor are: Work with the Work-Programme team and Work-Groups to identify priorities for pathways localisation or development. Identify subject matter experts to consult with in the process of localising or developing the pathway (usually at least one person from the specialty service, and another or two to act as a sounding board). Gather the required information, particularly the clinical information on how assessment, management, and referral are, or will be, performed locally. Provide the information to the Hospital HealthPathways team for editing and layout in the HealthPathways style. Review the new draft pathways produced by the Hospital HealthPathways team for accuracy and completeness. Obtain additional reviews and comments from the subject matter expert(s) and Work-Group as required to finalise the pathway. Deliver education to relevant stakeholders relating to the pathways. A successful local Clinical Editor is likely to have these personal attributes: Systems thinker: e. able to distil a simple and clear process from complex information and perspectives. Whole-of-System understanding: able to see relationships and impacts across the continuum of care (patient responsibility, general practice services, other community services, secondary care services and the voluntary sector). Good understanding of applying evidence to practice. A strong belief in quality improvement and the role of documentation in this. Knowledge of key providers and individuals: i.e. knowing who to involve. Sufficient seniority and track record to debate and have credibility with primary care and secondary care clinicians (requires a good understanding of both sets of perspectives and issues i.e. a foot in both camps). Judgement and the ability to compromise and negotiate: Knowing when to push hard, and when to ease-off. Have strong presentation skills
