PARTICIPATION IN SERVICE DESIGN
The policies on the services provided through the myHealth portal are formulated by the Ministry for Health after wide consultation with internal and external stakeholders. The Ministry takes all feedback into account during the process. The data displayed in myHealth depends on the availability of reliable electronic sources of health data and the technical possibilities of consistently retrieving and displaying that data.
The content and technical facilities in the myHealth portal are continuously being developed. In order to ensure that myHealth services continue to be patient-centric, we encourage input by users of myHealth. If you are interested in becoming a regular contributor to the design of myHealth, taking part in user panels or focus groups, please let us know: [email protected]. Your participation will help us design and deliver value-added services.
