In a recent Tip, I indicated I was rethinking the value of integrated care. Shopping for a new doctor however, has proven to be
problematic, at best.
On the front page of this morning’s paper, there is this article about a new website that might help.
Created by the Wisconsin Health Information Organization (WHIO), MyHealthWisconsin.org rates clinics throughout Wisconsin on two levels; “provides the recommended care for your healthcare issue at the right time” and, “makes good use of your healthcare dollars.”
I’d recommend you spend a little time navigating this site. You may be
surprised by some of the ratings. I think you’ll also find the tips at the ‘Consumer Resources’ tab very useful. (I’m a big fan of ‘Tips!’)
As the Journal Sentinel article points out, there are daunting obstacles to compiling this
information. And, what has been posted so far is incomplete.
Still, it’s a start.
