Abstract

NC Health Info is an online collection of North Carolina-based health services Web sites that seamlessly links local health resources to topical health information on MedlinePlus, the National Library of Medicine's consumer health information Web site. NC Health Info was the first project to connect local resources with MedlinePlus in the “Go Local” initiative. As such, NC Health Info serves as a model for other states to follow in connecting their own local information with Medline-Plus. This paper describes the processes used and lessons learned during a year-long evaluation of NC Health Info. Evaluation results may be of interest and applicable to any existing or planned “Go Local” project.
Keywords: NC Health Info; Go Local; MedlinePlus; consumer health information; evaluation; health services; Internet; Web sites
