"I try to use the web sites of my local hospital and HMO only to find them useless!"

A frustrated consumer


"E-commerce has only been around for a few years and almost everything people thought would work at the beginning has failed. Trust me, nobody is an 'expert' in e-commerce."

Is Your Web Site Ready for Accreditation?

URAC (also known as the American Accreditation HealthCare Commission) is developing Health Site Web standards for the accreditation of health care organization web sites. This will be a major step in providing the public assurance that health related web sites are meeting or exceeding quality standards.

Can your web site meet these proposed standards? Here are a few of the key measures

Does the parent organization have written policies and procedures governing the site?

Do you have a quality oversight committee?

Does your site meet disclosure standards (content development, promotional policy, investors, personal health etc.)?

Are there editorial policies guiding all health content? Is the content reviewed by a health professional?

These are just a few of the standards being considered. For more information, visit URAC's site: www.urac.org
