The site should also be registered with the top Internet search engines and directories, such as Yahoo, Excite, Infoseek, HotBot, WebCrawler and Lycos. This is quite acceptable provided the primary engines and directories are handled individually. Experienced website professionals can guide providers through the development process and will host the provider's site for a monthly fee. Providers should ask questions about how the site will be registered, how often it will be registered, and what kind of reporting is available. Ideally, providers should seek out those who have experience in a health-related industry in order to save time and energy.
Some providers develop their own sites.
Some of these sites look fine, but most do not. Homemade websites may not project the image and professionalism of the provider or entity. Back to the top of this page Back to the Resource Topics page 1997-2001 Health IT . All Rights Reserved.
