A grassroots resource locator system for rural healthcare providers.
We present a model for a health resource locator to help rural primary healthcare providers care for patients. We identify some unique needs of rural providers, argue that a grassroots effort, driven by the community, is the optimal way to address some of those needs, and propose a centralized Internet-based system to drive the whole process.
