The American Medical Association, together with six national medical associations, is setting up a high quality health information and communication site on the internet. Medem.com (standing for "medical empowerment") will make its website available in early 2000.
The partners in medem.com are the American Academy of Ophthalmology; the American Academy of Pediatrics; the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology; the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists; the American Psychiatric Association; and the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons.
"Medem.com is the website that patients all across America have been waiting for. The patient-physician relationship is the heart and soul of quality health care," said American Medical Association trustee Dr William Mahood.
Dr Edward Fotsch, a former emergency room physician, who is Medem's chief executive, said that doctors needed a reliable source of information for patients, and by bringing together seven medical societies, the company would provide it.
