Dear Heidi Health Team, I am writing to suggest an enhancement that I believe would significantly improve the usability and efficiency of the Heidi Health platform for clinicians. The idea is to develop an internal database of doctors and specialists indexed by suburb and clinic location. Each doctor could optionally list their working suburb(s), clinic details, and specialty. This would allow GPs and other referrers to quickly identify appropriate local specialists directly within Heidi Health, without the need for external searching. For example, if I am working in Mullaney, Queensland, and managing a patient who requires referral to an orthopedic surgeon for lower limb surgery, Heidi Health could automatically suggest nearby orthopedic specialists based on location and specialty. Ideally, these suggestions could appear contextually alongside the clinical note or referral section, offering a shortlist of relevant local specialists. This would streamline the referral process, save valuable clinical time, and improve continuity of care—particularly for clinicians working locally or across multiple sites. I believe that implementing a location-based specialist referral database would add significant value to Heidi Health and further establish it as a clinically intuitive and time-saving platform. I would be very happy to discuss this idea further or provide more detailed input on how such a feature could be developed if helpful. Please let me know if you would like me to expand on this proposal Thank you Ahmed Altabakh
