www.healthpoint.co.nz helps people better
understand and use New Zealand health
services.
The Healthpoint information platform ensures
health service information is available and
accessible to health consumers and patients,
so they can make better choices and be
more involved in their healthcare.
Healthpoint helps manage this service
information by providing systems and
processes which publish important
information about services. This information:
1. Empowers consumers to make more
informed choices
2. Contributes to helping improve health
literacy
3. Helps medical professionals navigate
the referral options and ensure the
right patient will be treated by the right
provider at the right time.
Healthpoint manages information on behalf
of DHBs/hospitals, GP practices, maternity
services, mental health NGOs, dentistry,
cancer support and eye care services.
Under eye care services, optometrists and
dispensing opticians are profiled alongside
ophthalmologists. The differences between
these professions, a comprehensive list of
common questions and in-depth information
on those participating service providers,
enables the consumer to understand what
providers do and the best way to access
them.
