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.'

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.
