About the Healthcare Community Genogram
This healthcare community genogram combines a small family structure with professional and patient connections to a central hospital, giving care coordinators and multidisciplinary teams a clear view of the people and organization involved.
The example begins with Ken and Anna, a married couple connected to their daughter Jenny, who is identified as a nurse. Jenny is then linked to the hospital. John and Amanda are identified as doctors, while Peter and Mary are identified as patients; each also has a directional connection to the same hospital.
Mary’s circle contains an X, indicating that she is deceased. Keeping her connection visible can help teams preserve relevant historical care context while clearly distinguishing current and past participants. The example can be expanded with service types, referral details, care-team responsibilities, community resources, and verified health information.
- Maps six people across family, professional, and patient roles
- Connects five people to one central healthcare organization
- Keeps Jenny’s family context visible alongside her nursing role
- Supports care coordination, community health planning, and multidisciplinary review

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a standard family genogram?
A standard family genogram concentrates on relatives and their relationships. This example keeps that family context while adding clinicians, patients, and a healthcare organization, making the wider care community visible in the same view.
What do the arrows to the hospital mean?
They indicate that each person has a connection to the hospital. Customize each arrow with a specific label—such as works at, receives care from, refers to, or coordinates with—so viewers understand the relationship without relying on assumptions.
Can I add clinics, pharmacies, schools, or community services?
Yes. Add each organization as a separate node, then use labeled connections to show referrals, treatment, employment, communication, or support. Color or group related services consistently to keep the map easy to scan.
How does Creately Clinical support healthcare community mapping?
The Medical & Genetic and Social Work field packs can organize relevant health, insurance, support-network, service, and risk information. Health and Risk & Services viewpoints, comments, real-time collaboration, role-based permissions, and PDF or DOCX reports support coordinated professional review.
