One of the plans we have for our patient oriented health care site is to try
to involve patients in outcomes and compliance surveys and inform them of
the need for and availability of clinical trials and other studies.I am not
conversant with PAR and in fact am only a patient myself (also webmaster and
founder of WellnessWeb) so I may be off base in suggesting that there might
perhaps be some way WellnessWeb can contribute to the evolution and success
of PAR. WellnessWeb is at

www.wellweb.com

if you'd care to preview it and see whether you think our concept could be
of help.
