The criteria below describes the types of services that should be represented by each Health Service Category in the Ocean Healthmap.
For more information about Health Service Categories, refer to the complete list of Health Service Categories available in Ocean.
| Health Service Name | Health Service ID | Listing criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Diabetes Education | DIABETES_EDUCATION |
The listing should provide structured diabetes education delivered by qualified staff, such as a certified diabetes educator, registered nurse, dietitian, pharmacist with a defined diabetes education role, or a recognized diabetes education program. A referring provider should expect patient-facing teaching on diabetes physiology, monitoring, medication use, nutrition, complication prevention, and when to seek care. |
| Diabetes Self-Management | DIABETES_SELF_MANAGEMENT |
The listing should help patients actively manage day-to-day diabetes care through an organized program or coaching model, including goal setting, glucose monitoring routines, medication adherence, lifestyle planning, and follow-up. A referring provider should expect practical self-management support beyond general diabetes advice or one-time pamphlet distribution. |
| Immunization Clinic | IMMUNIZATION_CLINIC |
The listing should offer scheduled or walk-in vaccination services with appropriate screening, consent, vaccine storage, administration, documentation, and post-vaccination monitoring. A referring provider should expect the clinic to provide specific publicly funded or private vaccines, not simply general advice about immunization. |
| Smoking Cessation Therapy | SMOKING_CESSATION |
The listing should offer a formal smoking cessation service, such as scheduled counselling sessions, CBT-based support, structured follow-up, prescribing support, or specifically allocated funded resources such as nicotine replacement therapy. Retail availability of nicotine replacement products alone is not sufficient unless it is paired with a defined cessation program or consultation service. |
| Travel Medicine | TRAVEL_MEDICINE |
The listing should provide a dedicated pre-travel medical assessment where itinerary-specific risks are reviewed and mitigated with counselling, prescriptions, and access to indicated travel vaccines or prophylaxis. General travel advice alone is not sufficient unless the listing has a travel medicine assessment workflow with destination-specific vaccine and prophylaxis planning. |
| Pharmacy | PHARMACY |
The listing should represent a pharmacy location that provides dispensing services and standard pharmacy operations, such as medication fulfilment, medication counselling, prescription renewals where permitted, and related pharmacy services. A referring provider should expect this category to identify the pharmacy as an organization or site, while pharmacist-led clinical care can be represented separately when appropriate. |
| Pharmacist | PHARMACIST |
The listing should represent an individual pharmacist or pharmacist-led clinical service where the pharmacist provides patient assessment, medication review, prescribing or adaptation where permitted, counselling, or other professional pharmacy care. A referring provider should expect a clinical provider or pharmacist-led consultation rather than only a general pharmacy location profile. |
