Implementation of Web-based interaction technology to improve the quality of a city's health care

Abstract:
In the clinic, one method for improving the interaction is to ask patients to systematically report their health status, give them standard advice based on their responses, and ask them to discuss this advice with a health practitioner. In the school system, this approach provides aggregate information for targeting programs to meet student needs. In the workplace, this health assessment and personal feedback approach may be offered to employees to improve health care and lower health care costs. But why stop at the door of the clinic, school, or workplace when Internet technology can extend to an entire community the benefits of health assessment and feedback?
