" CareSeek is helping to solve a problem in healthcare, namely the lack of open communication among the stakeholders. Good business as well as good health outcomes is based on relationships of trust and transparency. CareSeek uses the models of social networking and ratings and reviews to cross these barriers of communication and begin building the intra-stakeholder relationships that will improve healthcare.
In order to offer users in many healthcare segments a personalized experience, Careseek creates branded web solutions to empower individuals and to give voice to their thoughts and experiences, while building a universal knowledge base about healthcare and healthcare providers. The first member of the CareSeek consortium of sites is NursesRecommendDoctors.com, where nurses anonymously can provide ratings and reviews on physicians, which creates a vast repository of information that is critical to helping a patient seeking a provider and is shared across the CareSeek community."
