Level 2Care Pathways The patient has a clearly defined problem but there may be a small
number of additional factors that affect how treatment is provided. | |
Level 3Complex Care The patient may have a number of identified problems, some of which
interact, making it more difficult to predict the outcome of any individual treatment. | |

related to their primary problem or an exacerbation of other related factors. | |
