互联网的主要困境在于,尽管其无政府性质有利于促进无审查的公开辩论,但这引发了对可用信息质量的质疑,这可能会抑制其有用性。虽然互联网允许“医学少数利益集团获得他们感兴趣的关键信息,以便减少这些罕见疾病的发病率”,但它也为“癌症治疗师”Ryke Geerd Hamer等江湖医生提供了一个平台(http://www.ykeerdhamer.com)。地理城市com/HotSprings/3374/index. htm)。2-4质量被定义为“一个实体满足明示和暗示需求的能力所具有的特征的总和”。5.为了评价质量,必须界定这些需要,并将其转化为一套反映所述和隐含需要的、针对实体特点的定量或定性规定要求。那么,在互联网上的医疗信息方面,我们如何定义消费者的“需求”呢?
The principal dilemma of the internet is that, while its anarchic nature is desirable for fostering open debate without censorship, this raises questions about the quality of information available, which could inhibit its usefulness. While the internet allows “medical minority interest groups to access information of critical interest to them so that morbidity in these rare conditions can be lessened,” 1 it also gives quacks such as the “cancer healer” Ryke Geerd Hamer a platform (http://www. geocities. com/HotSprings/3374/index. htm). 2–4Quality is defined as “the totality of characteristics of an entity that bear on its ability to satisfy stated and implied needs.” 5 For quality to be evaluated, these needs have to be defined and translated into a set of quantitatively or qualitatively stated requirements for the characteristics of an entity that reflect the stated and implied needs. So how can we define consumers'“needs” in the case of medical information on the internet?
