HealthInfo has been developed for people to find useful locally approved information about wellbeing, health conditions, diagnosis, treatment and referral options. This site is designed to empower people to find out more about their diagnosed health conditions and to understand how the health system works.
The site has a mix of locally developed patient information, descriptions of local health services and supports, and links to local, New Zealand and international health and wellbeing information. It's intended to supplement the information that people access from their general practice team or other healthcare provider.
The HealthInfo content development process
HealthInfo is developed by a team of clinical advisers who are subject-matter experts, with wide consultation from local work groups of doctors, nurses and allied health clinicians. The development team aims to get consensus on the preferred patient information included on the site from local health professionals, particularly GPs and those in Te Whatu Ora – Health New Zealand Waitaha Canterbury and Southern.
