There has been an explosion in the number of different types of portals in the last decade, and at the same time there has been a lot of confusion with them, especially in relation to the enormous number of portals and their differences from Web sites or Web-pages. This coincides with increased use by consumers seeking medical information on the Internet, and with the important role played by medical portals for evidence based medicine. This article explores current portal technology available from an evaluation of market leaders in the industry and identifies important functional components that are necessary in building an intelligent portal to assist users seeking information on the Internet. The emphasis will be on government to consumer portals (G2C) and uses two reputable government portals Betterhealth and Healthinsite as examples to discuss issues involved with those.

Based Medicine

Twenty years ago, researchers identified the difficulties physicians have in answering the clinical questions that arise during medical care (Covell, Uman, & Manning, 1985). Fifteen years ago, the “Evidence-based medicine” movement arose (Cohen, 2001) and exhorted clinicians to use computers to look up the answers to questions as they arise during clinical care. Fortuitously for the proponents of evidence-based medicine the Internet matured in the 1990s{Hersh 1996 #3370}, epitomized by the launching of PubMed by Al Gore in June, 1997. PubMed, developed by the National Institutes of Health, provided the first free access to millions of biomedical research articles at MEDLINE. Unfortunately, the Internet has not fulfilled its potential to assist physicians in answering clinical questions. A recent study found that physicians obtain answers to only 40% of questions that arise during patient care (Ely, Osheroff, Chambliss, Ebell, & Rosenbaum, 2004); this rate is not much different than the rate of 30% reported 20 years ago (Covell et al., 1985).

Certain areas of child and adolescent mental health generate a degree of polarised debate, both within and outside the profession. Media attention, the development of self-help groups and the Internet lead to the publishing of papers and opinion, which exist alongside peer-reviewed research and evidence-based medicine. Parents reading such material may find it hard to know what advice is best. One area that falls into this category is chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
