Networking Health

An Analysis on how the Internet influences Health Care Provision and Experiences

Consumer health websites have garnered considerable media attention, but only begin to scratch the surface of the more pervasive transformations the Internet could bring to health and health care.

Introduction

The Internet is rapidly and radically transforming many aspects of society, reshaping industries from aircraft manufacturing to retailing by enabling the widespread sharing of information and creating new relationships between buyers and sellers of goods and services. Businesses now sell goods and services over the Internet, often dealing directly with customers rather than working through traditional distribution channels and intermediaries, tailoring products to match more closely the preferences of individual customers. Governments disseminate public information on World Wide Web sites, and consumers use the Internet to find information, communicate with friends and family, plan trips, shop, and pursue hobbies. Both the scope of applications and the number of Internet users will undoubtedly continue to grow as technologies improve and innovators continue to experiment with new online applications.

Health-related activities stand to benefit enormously from the Internet. As a highly information-intensive set of functions characterized by complex interactions among a large number of stakeholders—primary care physicians, specialists, nurses, patients, health plan administrators, public health officials, medical librarians, researchers, and others—health-related activities can take advantage of the nearly ubiquitous reach of the Internet and its capability to support communication between users who may not have interacted with each other before. Already the Internet is beginning to influence the health sector by forging new relationships among stakeholders and improving access to health information.
