Web Sites for Real People: Content: Q&A
• My 5-month-old daughter's soft spot has already closed. This was brought to the attention of her pediatrician; he had a cat-scan done and said that there is nothing to worry about. Everything that I have read states that the soft spot should be re-opened. Do we need a second opinion?

Web Sites for Real People: Content: Q&A
• I have a patient who needs to have dental treatments after head and neck cancer. The patient has Medicare only, and they will not pay for this specific treatment. Do you have any funding for patients like this? Do you know who else may have a foundation dedicated to these patients?

Lessons Learned: Issues Resulting in Adjustments
• Incorrect perception that the UM site was promoting local clinicians over others. • RESPONSE:• Changing some of the standard terminology used
in the site• Adding text to overtly address this issue.
• Providing any information about treatment is a major challenge in the current complex political and social environment.• Differing perspectives on what is appropriate treatment
between patients, families, and clinicians.• Differing opinions about appropriate treatment in
different specialties.

Conclusions
• Successful rapid prototyping web development projects require first and foremost a unique information need to which they are responding.
![Page 37: Let's Face It Comes to Michigan: Lessons Learned about Web Sites for Persons with Facial Difference](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052601/55959e541a28ab622d8b45ca/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Conclusions 2
• Other critical concerns • a strong team;• responsible and responsive leadership; • flexible resources; • administrative support; • funding; • physical resources such as servers; • staff resources such as programmers, graphic
designers, and public relations experts; • a virtual or physical space that supports rapid
collaborative development and revision of content.

Conclusions 3
• Unique needs of consumer health web sites • need to create a trusted and credible space; • honest, appropriate and expert information worth
sharing; • a heightened awareness of and commitment to
web accessibility requirements; and • sensitivity to the special needs of the target
audience (physical, emotional, social, and other).

Conclusions 4
• Additional desirable features • interactivity and community building
resources• guidance from interested individuals from
the community serve, with health care professionals in the role of providing support.
