Search for Health Information A
Harris Poll, conducted in early June, 2005, found that about three out of four
adults go online to seek health-related information. Most
adults who have ever looked for health information online have been generally
successful in finding what they are looking for and believe the information to
be at least somewhat reliable. Furthermore, many of these people use this
information in their discussions with their doctors or use the Internet to help
augment the information that doctors provide them. A
new term - Cybercondriacs has been coined to describe these health-information

to be prepared to discuss the information with their doctors. And about half of

Provider Identification Numbers As
a reminder to Healthcare Professionals, The Administrative Simplification
provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of
1996, referred to as HIPAA, mandated
the adoption of standard unique identifiers for health care providers. The
purpose of these provisions is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of
the electronic transmission of health information. The
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has developed the National
Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) to assign these unique
identifiers. The
adoption of these National Provider Identification Numbers will begin to be used
for all health plans beginning in May 2007.
