Linkage Trust Webhealth,
Webhealth.co.nz, a leading online health and social services directory, has created a print functionality that allows anyone to print their own hard copy directories on demand.
Graham Potter Manager Funding & Marketing for Linkage Trust Webhealth explains:
Health and social service organisations often spend considerable amounts of money printing specialist directories of services. To make the unit price acceptable they are often printed in large quantities relatively infrequently. This means information is often out of date after a short period of time. It can be a cause of major frustration for both service providers and clients when trying to recommend or contact a particular service.
Linkage Trust Webhealth has created a function that allows anyone to print out a selection of services from Webhealth websites in a variety of formats.
Potter says:
It is now possible to publish your own directory for free selecting only the services you want and print only the number of copies you need that day. You can add your own logo to brand the directory, send it as an attachment or save it to disk if you don't need to print it at all. We ensure the information is constantly updated.
Providers can list their services on Webhealth.co.nz for free so if a service is not in the Webhealth database it can be easily added before printing a directory.
There is the potential for the sector to save thousands of dollars using this system instead of the traditional way of printing directories says Potter. We hope it will be widely adopted. Apart from the monetary and time savings it contributes to reducing carbon footprints as well.
