3D Social Virtual Worlds: Research Issues and Challenges

EBM presentations


McMaster course ones available. I particularly recommend Haynes on Sources (second one is ppt so retains animations) and Montori on Patient Disobedience (or rather on the need for Minimally Disruptive Medicine ) Both implicitly make good cases for Annalisa 2+ it seems to me : lack of top S in the 6S hierarchy is very evident.

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."

Ranking Hospital Websites....

The Ranking Web of World Hospitals is introduced as a tool for showing the commitment of health organizations to the electronic publication and dissemination of academic information related to medicine. The Top Hospitals should be prone to share their information not only with other colleagues (physicians, researchers, scholars) but also with the rest of society, patients, community leaders, managers and citizens in general.

The Web indicators measure electronic contents, especially those used for scholarly communication, but also basic information about the hospital, its organization, services and personnel. The rank takes into account both the volume of information published and the impact or visibility of such contents measured by the number of external links the web pages receive from others.

European top 100
... Denmark just makes it at 91.
