New online tool helps patients decide when to see a doctor

New online tool helps patients decide when to see a doctor
Consumers vacillating between deciding whether to go to a doctor for a condition or treat it at home will have help from a new online tool from Subimo and SelfCareNet. The two companies have partnered for what they call a pre-visit tool to help consumers determine the severity of their illness, decide when to take action, and select the best course of treatment based on quality and cost. Health content firm SelfCareNet will provide easy-to-understand injury, illness, and symptom guides that help patients determine when to call a doctor and how to treat certain conditions at home. The content will be combined with Subimo's tools for choosing the right hospital and physician and identifying price information about prescription medications and medical treatment choices.
