The OHSU Library and other librarian's across the state are working on a project funded by the Oregon State Library and the National Library of Medicine called Oregon Health Go Local. This free web-based database will allow individuals to identify health service providers in their communities and adjacent communities who can treat specific conditions. One will be able to enter their zip code and specify the the number of of miles they are willing to travel to get care. Oregon Health Go Local will not address physicican shortages but as care becomes more patchy, this project may help lead people to providers who can provide the care they need. The project is expected to be available in late 2008.
