Comments on: Sustainable Health Care: What is it and How do We Get There? http://healthewoman.org/2009/03/04/sustainable-health-care-what-is-it-and-how-do-we-get-there/ Facts Plus Stories Equals Knowledge Tue, 31 May 2011 00:40:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Shelley Binkley http://healthewoman.org/2009/03/04/sustainable-health-care-what-is-it-and-how-do-we-get-there/comment-page-1/#comment-271 Shelley Binkley Thu, 05 Mar 2009 02:34:18 +0000 http://healthewoman.org/2009/03/04/sustainable-health-care-what-is-it-and-how-do-we-get-there/#comment-271 @brian The best advice-giving sites are ones with no or minimal commercial interest. For example, the nih.gov and cdc.gov sites offer relatively un-biased information. Not that other medical info sites are biased, but if you navigate to a site and see tons of ads for pharmaceuticals, I'd keep looking. One way to assess credibility of advice, is to compare several sources, e.g. see: http://healthewoman.org/2009/02/20/how-to-get-the-most-out-of-internet-medicine/ TY v. much for the comment, look forward to more dialogue on sustainable HC. -Shelley @brian The best advice-giving sites are ones with no or minimal commercial interest.

Providers get their sites promoting wellness in a non- media scare way boosted up the search rankings. If I'm searching for say diet advice - what results do I get vs what great and sensible (trustworthy) medical advice should I get. I'm sure GOOG/MSFT/YHOO etc would be open to allowing search parameters on health q's to get practical guidance..and allow physician advice to float above less helpful guidance.
