Health Service Executive - Map Centre

OpenApp has helped the Health Service Executive (HSE) to develop the HSE Map Centre, a communications service that builds on Health Atlas Ireland to allow members of the public and HSE staff to find health-related facilities in Ireland.

The HSE Map Centre allows a user to select their location of interest by clicking on a map or by typing in an address. Once the user's location has been determined the user can choose one of several facility types, including:

  • Hospitals;HSE Map Centre

  • Family Doctors

  • Pharmacies;

  • Health centres;

  • Garda stations;

  • Nursing homes;

  • Dentists;

  • Flu vaccine clinics.

All local facilities of the type selected by the user will then be listed and their location show on the map. The user can choose to display a route from their location to a facility or between facilities.

Address and coordinate information is accessed by OpenApp through Geodirectory's GeoAddress Locator, while routing information and background mapping is currently provided by Google Maps.
