What do you like about the pathway? What do you
not like about the pathway? How useful is the
format of the pathway (use of pictograms etc)?
Is this an understandable and a useful way to
depict the steps? It might be possible to attach
information to the pathway steps. What would you
find useful to have attached? How might this
pathway apply to your service users? How might
this pathway apply to your team? Where might you
find information related to telehealth and
telecare ? Who might review telehealth and
telecare needs? How frequently? 'What do you
understand the screening process to be? How
frequently to do you refresh your telecare
knowledge? Where would you guide patients, family
or carers for information on telecare? If the
pathway evolved to include local contact details
and referral forms, is this a tool that you
would regularly access?
