Introduction
Whilst working with various health care professionals and patients, PushPull Medical Pty Ltd (PPM) identified a need for easy to access, interactive content that helps patients with a serious illness and thIer families understand their conditions and at the same time provide doctors with tools to assist with the management of their patients.

By combining in-house health communications capabilities with information obtained from a range of experts and other patients who have learned to manage their illness, PPM have been able to deliver The DrsWaitingRoom and HelpDomian.

What is HelpDomain?
When faced with a health crisis or significant health issue, understanding and managing the condition from a medical aspect is only one part of the challenge. Patients, their families and carers are also faced with numerous non-medical decisions that can be difficult to understand. Finding where to go for answers can be time consuming and the last thing they want to deal with.

Everyone’s experience is different and information is not always straightforward or easy to find. Access to independent, balanced and accurate advice from professionals who help solve problems everyday is critical during these difficult times. HelpDomain works closely with the people who know their business and can give good advice. Information is accessed from many sources to find the right mix of knowledge, tools and services to empower the patient, family member, carer, friend or health care worker and to help them make good decisions and positive choices.

Whether it’s identifying services, finding financial support, working out legal issues or knowing how to effectively use offers from family and friends, HelpDomain has solutions.

HelpDomain also aims at offering health care professionals with resources and tools that provide assistance in broaching difficult medical care issues with patients and their families.

The HelpDomain project has been discussed with various organisation in order to get approval for the content and ensure that the site meets the needs of their members - Carers Australia, Australian Association of Social Workers, Financial Planners Association etc.

We are currently in dialogue with many HCO’s (Health Consumer Organisations) support groups for the various conditions who see HelpDomain as a valuable tool for their members - this referral will be a major source of traffic for both HelpDomain and DWR.
