Board on Health Care Information
Madison
April 23, 2001
To the Honorable, the Legislature:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you about the Wisconsin Consumer Guide to Health Care, an Internet-based resource that enables the state's citizens to make informed choices about their health care. It fulfills the
1997 Wisconsin Act 231 mandate, which requires that the Department of Health and Family Services (DHFS) produce a guide to assist consumers in choosing health care providers and plans.
A228
The Bureau of Health Information in the Department's Division of Health Care Financing developed the Guide. The Guide serves as a single online site that the public can use to access information about a broad variety of health care topics. In some cases, the Guide provides information specifically developed about health care in Wisconsin. In other cases, the Guide enables the public to quickly draw upon existing information from national sites; that is, the Guide does not duplicate the work of others.
The Guide was developed under the principle that health care information is useful to the public only if it is both easily found and understood. Numerous people provided input to the Guide's development, including members of our Board, members of the state Interagency Coordinating Council, the University of Wisconsin, DHFS staff, and focus groups representing a wide cross-section of Wisconsin's consumer population.
