GHNS — Global Health Care Navigation System
The network layer: finding care that exists somewhere other than where the patient is standing.
What it addresses
The distance problem
A screening camp in a rural block routinely identifies conditions that the nearest facility cannot treat. Without a navigation layer, the referral becomes a piece of paper and a hope. With one, it becomes an appointment at a named destination with capacity, and a tracked status.
Capabilities
Four
Discovery
Finding a specialist outside the patient's immediate network.
Teleconsultation
Remote consultation folded into the same longitudinal record rather than happening beside it.
Structured referral
Into connected laboratories, pharmacies and hospitals.
Closed loop
Follow-up scheduled and tracked until the case resolves.
The loop
Why this is a system and not a directory
Read the referral argument.
Why half of referrals never complete.
