Innovative Healthcare Experience Reports from HealthLat Make Patients More Informed
Date:10/16/2007

MADISON, Wis., Oct. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite a recent law signed by President Bush, patient safety remains in jeopardy. Necessary information about treatments and procedures is still unavailable to average citizens. Now patients can buy a collaborative experience report from HealthLat (http://www.healthlat.com) to make truly informed medical decisions.

Current health care systems cannot effectively monitor patient safety. Lacking incentives, shareholders are reluctant to share their data. This is one major reason why risks from drugs such as Vioxx go undetected for years. HeathLat has none of these barriers. It gathers over 10,000 types of health information directly from patients using the Internet and shares its report revenue with participating users.

Healthcare providers and drug companies tend to market benefits while the individuals proclaim the negative aspects. By using a credit system HealthLat encourages patients to share positive, neutral, or negative medical experiences with others. Now patients can learn all sides of the treatments they are having or planning to begin.

Patients often have little control in healthcare and are the lowest in line for information. Even after the new patient safety law is in place, there will still be a 1-2 year delay for information. HealthLat reports are accessible to patients anytime and are constantly being updated by participants.

Health-care forums, support groups, and social networking websites are popular for patients to share their individual treatment experiences. Information shared however is often uncategorized and difficult to understand. HealthLat enhances and streamlines the collaboration among patients. Reports use templates created from clinical guidelines to gather and organize experience information and are personalized in a simple format.
