5 Tips for finding Quality Health Information on the Net, Smallbusinessnurse.com

As more and more Americans are turning to the Internet for their health information, how do you know if the information you are reading is accurate?

Here are 5 helpful tips to consider when looking  for health information online:

1. Look for sites that are well known, associated with a medical center or government agency such as Mayo Clinic or National Institute for Health. These sites are reliable, have up to date information on new treatments, clinical trials and new medications. Health blogs like the New York Times or The Wall Street Journal also give great news information about the healthcare Industry.

Remember some health blogs  may be  reporting their opinion on a health topic. If it’s a fact, the original source should be stated so you can research more on the topic you’re interested in.

The end of a web address can help you determine what kind of site you are on.

  • .gov – US government sponsored site
  • .org – non profit organizations
  • .edu – educational institutions
  • .com – commercial site

Microsoft Examines Causes of ‘Cyberchondria’ - NYTimes.com

Published: November 24, 2008

If that headache plaguing you this morning led you first to a Web search and then to the conclusion that you must have a brain tumor, you may instead be suffering from cyberchondria.

On Monday, Microsoft researchers published the results of a study of health-related Web searches on popular search engines as well as a survey of the company’s employees.

The study suggests that self-diagnosis by search engine frequently leads Web searchers to conclude the worst about what ails them.

The researchers said they had undertaken the study as part of an effort to add features to Microsoft’s search service that could make it more of an adviser and less of a blind information retrieval tool.

Googling Symptoms: How It Can Help Patients and Doctors - TIME

But to debate whether patients should or should not Google their symptoms (which a surprising number of doctors seem to enjoy engaging in) is an absurd exercise. Patients already are doing it, it is now a fact of normal patient behavior, and it will only increase as Internet technology becomes ever more ubiquitous. The average Joe has more health information at his fingertips — both credible and charlatan — than all the medical libraries ever built put together. So the real question is, What can professionals do to translate this phenomenon into better health for their patients and the public?

First, they can adopt strategies in health-care delivery and education that endorse the process of patient self-education. Shared clinical decisionmaking is an influential model for patient care now being promoted by researchers, educators and the federal government as a way to get patients to partner with their doctors to take an active role in making decisions about health care. The ideas behind this model were outlined in the late 1990s by researchers at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, and were important enough to be included in the language of both the federal stimulus and health-reform laws. This model recognizes that many choices in medical care often involve complicated trade-offs. In this process, patients are encouraged to become informed of the nuances related to a health-care decision in advance of the doctor-patient encounter; and the Internet has naturally become the place where these tools can be found in the form of worksheets, videos and decision aids. (See "The Health IT Paradox: Why More Data Doesn't Always Mean Better Care.")

The internet gives patients and caregivers access not only to information, but also to each other. | Pew Internet & American Life Project

Many Americans turn to friends and family for support and advice when they have a health problem. This report shows how people’s networks are expanding to include online peers, particularly in the crucible of rare disease. Health professionals remain the central source of information for most Americans, but "peer-to-peer healthcare" is a significant supplement.

This report is based in part on a national telephone survey of 3,001 adults which captures an estimate of how widespread this activity is in the U.S. All numerical data included in the report is based on the telephone survey. The other part of the analysis is based on an online survey of 2,156 members of the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) who wrote short essays about their use of the internet in caring for themselves or for their loved ones.

Social Media - How to Use Social Media to Choose a Doctor

We patients have only a few tools at our disposal to choose the right doctor for us. Most of those tools provide very cut and dried basics like licensing, board certification, even malpractice.

It has always been difficult to gain a glimpse into a doctor's attitudes or personality without meeting that doctor and getting to know him or her. Friends might tell us a doctor is "nice" - but smart patients know that doesn't mean a doctor is competent.

Along comes social media - Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn and other programs online that allow us to connect with other people - including doctors. Social media allows us to learn more about a doctor's personality and attitudes, his or her approach to their work and more.

With a little detective work, picking up clues here and there, smart patients use social medial to help them research and choose their doctors.

Some might tell you that you can get this kind of information from doctors' ratings sites. But I'm not a fan. They are too restricted, and are too often populated only by disgruntled patients. So give social media a try, hopefully to find more balance.
