SUMMARY:The explosion of health and medical information: Are patients any better off?
DESCRIPTION:Some studies estimate 99 million U.S. adults are "empowered consumers\," for example\, people who would challenge a doctor’s expertise\, discuss information found online with a physician\,  use the Internet instead of seeing a doctor or made a health care  decision because of online information. \nIs all the health information available online leading to better patient-doctor communication and better health outcomes or information overload? \nPanelists will include: \n\nDr. Lisa Sanders\, New York Times writer and inspiration for Fox TV’s House MD.

Oransky also teaches medical journalism at NYU and is a current board member of the Association of Health Care Journalists.\nMitch Rothschild\, CEO of Vitals.com\, a site that gives information on and allows patients to rate over 720\,000 medical providers.\nBill Silberg\, has served senior  editor roles at Medscape and JAMA\, as well as executive positions  at New York Academy of Sciences and The Commonwealth Fund.\n\nMore event information is available here.   \nWhen: Monday\, March 7; 6-9 p.m. \nWhere: AOL\, 770 Broadway – 6th Floor (Wanamaker Building\, on 9th Street) NYC 10003
