Health Journey Mapping Tools

Lowitja Institute has developed a package of mapping tools and resources that assist clinicians, managers and teams to recognise:

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patient and family needs

• identify strengths and gaps in health systems

• evaluate effectiveness, and

• meet accreditation standards.

The Health Journey Mapping package consists of a handy user guide, some worked examples and introductory videos to support the uptake and implementation of 3 Health Journey Mapping tools at the following levels of complexity:

• Clinical: For busy clinicians in everyday clinical practice.
• Detailed: For more comprehensive quality improvement, care planning and evaluation.
• Complex:  A higher-level tool that brings together multiple perspectives of the patient, family, and health services across different stages of a journey.

Built on the foundations of the underlying principles of Equity, Safety and Partnership; it is our vision that these tools can assist with:

• improving equitable and,

• optimised health care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
