Problema

Un pensionista de Tasmania enfrenta una larga espera para recibir atención médica urgente. Este proyecto propone una lista de verificación no clínica para ayudar a los pacientes vulnerables a navegar por los retrasos y acceder a apoyo.

Lo que están construyendo

A one-page paper checklist and information sheet, created in collaboration with a local patient advocacy group, distributed at one clinic or community center to up to 20 patients over one month. The checklist will include steps for contacting the hospital, seeking advocacy, and finding local support services.
