Independent evaluation of web sites of French hospitals and clinics

How good are the web sites of French hospitals and clinics? Which web sites should be studied? Which criteria should be included in the review, with what methodology?

Well, the short answer to the long question is that Denise SIlber convinced Basil Strategies ;-) to study the web sites of what are reportedly amongst the best hospitals and clinics in France. The conclusions of the Basil Study are that these institutions are clearly not perceiving the benefit to their organization in maintaining an attractive, up to date site that answers most of the basic questions, recruits new employees, and actually saves its institution time and money. The average score was 50 out of 100, with no major difference between public, private, and not for profit, although the best one seemed to be public and the worst, private.

More on the study soon!

I think public and government web sites should applying web accessibility and usability aspects. They should respect on equal access and common sense.
