Access is often thought of physical or phone access but the first barrier can be lack of understanding and fear to show it a lot of online resources talk in words that not all understand

turnoverof health professionals

high turnover of health professionals in remote areas out of date paper directories of referral services takes a while to know who to refer patients to onboarding takes time

data accessits remote man

Not everyone lives in a town, or near a cell tower weather can dramatic impede phone reception Not everyone has a modern smart phone

lack of infowhat can this health centre do?

A lot of online resources are not upto date or complete

bottleneckwho updates the info

Often the online resources are “managed by one part person as a small part of their job or they have to use a contractor has it is all hard coded

Solution

patient focusedfind by their needs

symptoms ability capacity open

we want to be able to search by things that make sense to use non medics symptoms, abilities (of the clinic or person), open spots for a family GP, opening times

unmet demandrecord incomplete search

if 500 hundred people search and got no result, maybe there is a service missing e.g medical breakout, missing service,

simple wordsfind by words people understand

This is a game that one medical council built to help patients understand doctors We want to use common words to help people search http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/medicalwords.html
