Time to Move On?

Trying to Measure the Quality of Health Information
on the Internet: Is It Time to Move On?

"Groups, mainly led by patients, are now beginning to take matters into their own
hands to address problems that the health system has continued
to ignore. Instead of conforming to the traditional asymmetrical
offline patient-physician relationship, the public is embracing the tenets of Web 2.0,
opening new horizons for a level playing field and improved health services.
The time has likely come to end our Byzantine discussions
about whether and how to measure the quality of
online health information. The public has moved on. It is
time to join them in what promises to be an exciting voyage
of human fellowship, with new discoveries and exciting
ways to achieve optimal levels of health."
