Abstract

WoDo is a productive network website for medical doctors. We're currently operational in Norway, under the name "Norsk Helseportal" (NHP). Our mission is to assist MDs with any non-patient related task to improve information logistics, knowledge sharing, and efficiency between doctors and healthcare units. The Doctor Networks today occur decentralized on unregulated platforms without full visibility and cooperation, the aim of NHP is to centralize such networks to our secure platform and provide an efficient experience for time consumed Doctors. NHP also gives opportunities for government agencies to reach out to all doctors at the same time. This is important for sharing new regulations and new knowledge critical to the doctor's practice, but also to reaching all doctors during public emergencies and guiding all doctors as a group. During emergencies NHP can even provide the government agencies with important statistics for decision making. We verify that all registered users are in fact licensed MDs, and connect doctors directly to relevant tools, e.g. for job search, courses, discussion forums, shift planners, and calendars.
