New Site for Comparing Health Websites

September 9th, 2005

Consumer Reports and Health Improvement Institute have launched a beta site for comparing consumer health websites: healthratings.org

webwatch

Two things I find particularly impressive:
(1) The site provides strengths AND weaknesses for each site. For example, for WebMD, weaknesses mentioned include: "busy with distracting advertising; poor visual representation of pages."
(2) The site attempts to objective rank each website along 9 dimensions (e.g.identity, ease of use, design, coverage, etc). Maybe I'm just a sucker for harvey ball graphics.

By the way, the only hospital to make the top 20 is Mayo Clinic.

Is there a day coming when such a site would exist for hospital websites?
