Emergency Health data

Improve the quality of Emergency health data in OpenStreetMap. Define user stories that describe the need for emergency care data > Identifying priority baseline health attributes.

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.'

• Access to emergency hospital care provided by the public sector in sub-Saharan Africa in 2015: a geocoded inventory and spatial analysis

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

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 the open to share baseline data.

Presentations

• Building baseline health facility data with healthsites.io and OpenStreetMap (Slide deck)
• Building baseline health facility data with healthsites.io and OpenStreetMap (Youtube)

Method

• Human Centered Design to drive the development of baseline health facility data with Healthsites

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)

Maternity care

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.

Road accidents and other emergencies

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
