Patient views - mashup

E-Health Insider last week reported on the mashup developed by Patient Opinion to incorporate patient feedback from NHS Choices:
"This means that patients and carers can find comments about hospital care posted on either Patient Opinion or NHS Choices, using Patient’s Opinion’s site. And subscribers can generate reports using feedback from both sites."
Content from NHS Choices is clearly marked with a link back to the original content (organised by NHS organisation) thus providing context. Patient feedback is an important theme in the Darzi review so it'll be interesting to see how this develops. At the moment, there are 7234 opinions listed - there is a postcode and keyword search but it may need some work to better direct users as the site grows.
