CareSeek offers a way for people seeking care to find it easily. We build online community-based healthcare portals that connect patients and families with the local healthcare providers and suppliers. Furthermore, we are the online place to go to find out about health conditions, community health events, local health experts, relevant health news and health jobs. If you have health questions you can visit the local CareSeek forums and join the discussions and support groups. If you have items to buy or sell, you can post them free of charge on the Careseek Classifieds. CareSeek offers the community a virtual marketplace where all things related to health, wellness and care can be found.
A community.careseek.com portal resembles that of a regional shopping mall: the infrastructure is supported by the anchor tenants (hospitals, HMO's), who in turn attract the smaller shops (local health businesses) and offices (medical practices, ambulatory services), all leading to the aggregation of the customers. The mall management (CareSeek) provides attractive facilities, ease of access, maintenance and rules for security. Overall, the cost of reaching healthcare consumers is reduced while the ease of locating the best health care services is increased.
Most importantly, a community.careseek.com destination brings together the many care seekers, who through their personal knowledge of the businesses and providers, can help each other. Through online forums, tools for reaching the providers and the ability to post wants and needs, the people in the community can share their wisdom and make better informed healthcare decisions.
