The accessibility of health information on the Internet has revolutionized access to clinical information for health practitioners and patients. This access to information has the potential to make a major contribution to health care. However, the effective use of this accessibility depends on an understanding of all the issues involved, from the underlying technologies and economic pressures, to questions of how best to manage quality and privacy, how people seek and use information, and what the barriers to its use are. Cullen's book also examines the extent of health information on the Internet, the providers of websites and their content, and outlines the nature of the paradigm shift affecting knowledge in the health sector.

Information technology has dramatically changed our lives in areas ranging from commerce and entertainment to voting. Now, policy advocates and government officials hope to bring the benefits of enhanced information technology to health care. Already, consumers can access a tremendous amount of medical information online. Some physicians encourage patients to use email or web messaging to manage simple medical issues. Increasingly, health care products can be purchased electronically. Yet the promise of e-health remains largely unfulfilled. Digital Medicine investigates the factors limiting digital technology's ability to remake health care. It explores the political, social, and ethical challenges presented by online health care, as well as the impact that racial, ethnic, and other disparities are having on the e-health revolution. It examines the accessibility of health-related websites for different populations and asks how we can close access gaps and ensure the reliability and trustworthiness of the information presented online. Darrell West and Edward Miller use multiple sources, including original survey research and website analysis, to study the content, sponsorship status, and public usage of health care-related websites, as well as the relationship between e-health utilization and attitudes about health care in the United States. They also explore the use of health information technology in other countries. The result is an important contribution to our understanding of health information innovation in America and around the world.

More than any other medium, the Internet has transformed the way many consumers find health information. More than 70 percent say online health information has influenced a decision about their treatment. But is the health information available on the Web sufficiently complete and accurate to support consumer decisionmaking? This publication reports the findings of a comprehensive study, designed and conducted by RAND Health, to describe and evaluate health information available on the Internet. The study is the first to evaluate both English-language and Spanish-language search engines and Web sites. The study's key findings are: Search engines are inefficient tools for locating relevant health information. Answers to important questions that consumers should be able to find are often incomplete, although when information is provided it is generally accurate. Most Web-based health information is difficult for the average consumer to understand. The Report Summary includes highlights of the study's methods, key findings, and recommendations for consumers, health Web sites, providers, policymakers, and consumer advocacy groups.
