Health Information Provision on the Web via Comparison-Shopping: A Preliminary Investigation
Abstract
The public access to health service information is critical for the general welfare of the society. In the United States, there are many efforts being spent by the government and independent non-profit organizations on improving the quality and accessibility of such information. Recently, comparison-shopping as an innovative way to increase the efficacy of health service information access is emerging. Depending on the geographic location, an individual could conduct comparison-shopping on health service information ranging from health insurance cost, service quality of hospitals and physicians, to price of prescription drugs.
