In a new report, the University of Auckland has examined the barriers and solutions to effective public health communication during an emergency. The research shows barriers that hamper communication efforts between health authorities and medical practitioners include messaging overload, confusion over message priority and a lack of accountability. As part of the research, Medinz and how it minimises risk was examined. The report finds that a single-channel system, such as Medinz, offers the best possible response to this global communication challenge for the primary health sector. Ultimately, it will help keep communities safer.
