Connecting people, providers and communities to better care.
Healthpoint exists to ensure everyone in Aotearoa can easily connect with the right health and social services – when and where they need them.
Clear, trusted and equitable access to information is at the heart of better health outcomes – for individuals, whānau and communities.
Across the motu, people rely on health and social services every day – yet finding the right information isn’t always easy.
Healthpoint removes this barrier by acting as a connector across the health system.
We believe that trusted information saves time, reduces uncertainty, supports clinical conversations and strengthens our health system for everyone.
Healthpoint delivers trusted health information and digital tools through four core products.
Healthpoint Directory
Aotearoa’s most comprehensive and trusted directory of health, social and community services.
Healthpoint API
A standards-based API that enables organisations to integrate accurate, up-to-date service information directly into their own systems, apps and platforms.
Medinz
A critical communication tool that delivers timely, prioritised clinical information to GPs and primary care providers.
ERPT (Emergency Response Planning Tool)
A digital planning tool that helps general practices prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies and pandemics.
Providers are a central part of Aotearoa’s health network – and our tools are designed to support their visibility and effectiveness.
Our focus is simple: help providers do what they do best – deliver care to their communities.
Equity isn’t an initiative – it’s a responsibility woven into everything we do.
We believe:
In practice, this means:
Embedding cultural and community insight
Working with Māori, Pacific, iwi, disability and rural partners to reflect real community needs.
Making services easier to find
Improving visibility for providers serving underserved populations.
Supporting transparency and understanding
Demystifying the health system by providing clear, plain-language service information.
Using technology for social impact
Our digital tools are designed to improve equitable access – through scale, standards and consistent information delivery.
Championing system-wide collaboration
Building connections between people, providers and systems so no one is left behind.
Healthpoint is committed to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and to supporting the health sector to meet its obligations through partnership, protection and participation.
Promote tino rangatiratanga and provider-led data – Service providers maintain control of their own information, supported by Healthpoint’s national governance and secure platform.
Information as taonga – We protect the integrity, privacy and cultural significance of service information.
Culturally aligned content – We work with hauora Māori providers to ensure kaupapa Māori services are visible, trusted and accessible to whānau.
Embedding Māori perspectives – Incorporating Te Reo Māori, Māori models of care, and developments such as SNOMED terminology to support culturally safe navigation.
I had the occasion to utilise the ERPT two and half weeks ago – in the early hours when our practice was broken into and set on fire. I am glad I put the time into completing the resource and used it to enact our emergency plans.
We trust Healthpoint to publish high quality, relevant information about our hospital network. They have disciplined processes to keep that information up-to-date and we have confidence and trust in them as an information partner.
The region’s testing provider, Labtests, used Medinz to alert GPs that some Labtests branches were closed and to ask them to delay routine blood tests until power could be restored. The response was significant and rapid: weekly test collections fell from 12,000 to 3,000, helping Labtests to prioritise critical work.
It’s a very valuable thing to have a platform that is trusted by Māori.
Healthpoint gives our [Telehealth] teams confidence. When someone calls for support, we know we’re guiding them to the right care, close to home, with the most current information.
Thank you Will for arranging the call to set-up our service. It was so informative and helpful. You have made my first foray into editing Healthpoint easy and happy.
