Dear Colleagues,
Patients are accessing medical information via the Internet
in record numbers. Issues related to mental health are among
the most researched categories on the Web. Recent studies
show that people prefer to get their online health information
from their own health care providers.
How does the Internet fit into your practice plans? Will you
use it to market your practice? Offer patient education?
Assist patients in managing their care? Run your practice?
Obtain continuing education? Communicate with patients and
colleagues? The Internet has the potential to help with all of these things.
Please feel free to forward this information to professional colleagues,
who can sign-up for a free subscription to Friday's Progress Notes at

1. EFFECTIVE CLINICAL PRACTICE
What Do Patients Want? Help in Making Effective Choices
I want to be a rational patient. To do that, my physicians
need to help me understand the probability and magnitude of the
good and bad things that can happen to me, as a result of taking
- or rejecting - possible treatments.
