Emergency Health data

Improve the quality of Emergency health data in OpenStreetMap.

  1. Define user stories that describe the need for emergency care data
  2. Identifying priority baseline health attributes.
  3. Run campaigns to improve the data Get in contact to support/start a campaign

Saint Louis campaign

  • Healthsites - Emergency health data validation campaign
  • Date: 01/01/22 - 30/03/22
  • Location: Medical District of Saint Louis - Senegal
  • Project: COVIDaction Vaccine Data Co-Lab

Objectives

  • Accurate emergency health facility data

'Definition of the scope, service provision capacities, laboratory capacities, and optimal catchment populations for emergency hospital care should be a priority.'

Maternal Mortality in Sierra Leone - A short video that presents the challenge being faced as well as the personas we are thinking about.

No Woman Should Die Giving Birth: Maternal Mortality in Sierra Leone

Developing a data validation method with OpenStreetMap Senegal and the Ministry of Health

Open development

Healthsites interprets Open development in a number of ways.

  • We invite stakeholders in the health cluster to share baseline health facility under an open data license.
  • We invite specialists to share user stories, participatory video that communicate emergency health needs in parts of the world where service is poor.
  • We invite National statistics offices to work with us in measuring the improvement of health outcomes.

Contact us to share user stories, data or run a campaign

Method

User stories

Example: As a < type of user >, I want < some goal including health facility attributes > so that < some reason >.

Epidemiologist

  1. As an epidemiologist I want to know where the diagnostic services are so that I can perform clinical_pathology and sample analysis.
  2. As an epidemiologist I want to know which facilities have isolation rooms so that I can reduce transmission of a disease
  3. As an epidemiologist I want to know which health facilities have ventilators so that I can support patients suffering from disease
  4. As an epidemiologist I want to know which health facilities have ICU beds so that I can support patients suffering from disease
  5. As an epidemiologist I want to know the number of Doctors and nurses at a health facility so that I can assess the capacity to manage a disease outbreak event
  6. As an epidemiologist I want to know the number of hospital beds at a health facility so that I can assess the capacity to manage a disease outbreak event
  7. As an epidemiologist I want to identify the presence of a COVID19-TEST-Facility in my facility so that people can find me and do the test. (this tag is not yet available in OSM)

backlog

Pregnant mom

  1. As a pregnant mom I would like to know if a facility has a well staffed operating theatre should I need a C-section.
  2. As a mother with a newborn baby that has health issues I would like to know if a facility has Paediatric surgery so that I can give my baby the best care possible.
  3. As a mother with a newborn baby that has health issues I would like to know if a facility has** NICU or neonatal unit or Providers skilled in emergency obstetric and newborn care (EmONC)** so that I can give my baby the best care possible.
  4. As a pregnant mom preparing for birth I would like to visit a facility with an ultrasound so that I can give my baby the best care possible.
  5. As a pregnant mom, I want to know how long it would take me to get to the nearest emergency obstetric care facility, so that me and my unborn child have access to emergency care when needed.

backlog

Road accident victim

  1. As a citizen responding to a road accident I want to know where the nearest emergency facility is so that I can take the person I’m helping to the right facility
  2. As a emergency care specialist I want to make use of an ultrasound to correctly diagnose a condition so that the patient can be referred correctly for the appropriate care
