Rural and
Remote division video highlights Pathways’ patient and provider benefits

ability to provide clinical advice and resources to support physicians
and encourages its use as a tool to provide excellent care to patients.
The Rural and Remote division created the video as a way to contribute to
a greater culture of sharing and collaboration.

Divisions
COMET CRM Update
The first phase build of the COMET CRM (Customer
Relationship Management) expansion for local divisions is nearly
complete. This system provides a place for divisions to track information
related to members, member involvement with the division, and some practice
information. The central office team is working with a small group of
divisions who volunteered to be the first wave of adopters for a launch
in June.
For divisions interested in moving onto COMET before the end of 2018, or
for any questions about COMET, please email Robin Van Hussen. For more
information, read the COMET
FAQ and the divisions
data dictionary which summarizes all the main fields that divisions
will be able to view and/or use in COMET.
