Abstract: Effective health policy requires information to be transparent and accessible.Given the World Wide Web thrives on transparency and accessibility, its makes sense for us to pay attention to Web innovations as they arise.This article provides an overview of how the Web has evolved from a simple "read-only" Web (also known as Web 1.0), to a fully interactive Web composed of new, powerful tools (Web 2.0).1,2 The intent is to facilitate a basic understanding of this new Web vocabulary (eg, blogs, wikis, RSS Feed), how it applies to specific areas of health policy, and to provide a foundation for future analysis on the impact of the Web on healthcare.
