Accessibility of healthcare facilities
Health facilities are visited every day by people with reduced mobility. It is therefore all the more important that accessibility information is available precisely for these locations. Because: Medical appointments are associated with small and major hurdles for many people.
Healthcare facilities: Where accessibility information is key
People with disabilities or people who need help following an accident are particularly dependent on accurate information about the accessibility of healthcare facilities. This information enables them to clarify in advance whether they can take advantage of the required health services from medical professionals or physiotherapists. Regrettably, there is currently a significant lack of information in Switzerland. This is a challenge and can lead to frustration and restrictions when looking for appropriate healthcare.
Easy recording of accessibility
In cooperation with associations and health insurance companies, providers of medical services should be motivated to record the accessibility of their rooms and publish it on their websites. This information should also be stored in health insurance doctors' directories and thus be directly available when searching. Healthcare facilities can simply open an account on ginto — Sitios' digital platform — and enter it themselves. The platform then automatically creates its own website with detailed accessibility information. The corresponding link can now be stored on the practice's website and the data published in this way.
