MindfulMap

An interactive tool for clinicians to view mental healthcare resources

Interactive Web App

Challenge:

Within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Academic affiliated clinics (AACs) serve a majority of the populations' healthcare demands, including mental healthcare services. However, AACs operate independently and have nuances within their systems (treatments offered, intake criteria, etc.). Currently, there is no tool that centralizes all this information, making collaboration and communication between clinicians in different AACs difficult. At the end, the timeline for quality patient care is prolonged and is further exacerbated with more complex mental health conditions.

Solution:

MindfulMap is designed to be an online web tool that clinicians can utilize as a directory to find AACs that fit certain criteria. Users can manipulate and refine information through the query functions to view the results in two ways. The Map View offers a cartographic overview while the tabular view gives the user more granular information about each AAC. By using MindfulMap, AAC clinicians will be able to understand other clinics' nuances and navigate the mental healthcare system in a more streamlined workflow. ​
