E-visits and the Future
The section entitled Future, about e-visits, doesn't cite any sources whatsoever. It has a promotional rather than an objective tone. I made a few edits in this section to tone down the salesmanlike language. But I think it needs much more serious attention -- because as far as I can see, this section is entirely speculative. No facts, no citations, just hand-waving. Where did that 25% come from, for example? And what's up with the link to Wal-Mart?

Remote provision of medical care is a major topic in health care today, so it is justifiable to include such a section under Patient Portals. However, as written, the text does not inspire confidence in this reader (and I make my living as a medical editor). I nominate the whole section for deletion if somebody doesn't provide peer-reviewed supporting data in the reasonably near future.Thuvan Dihn (talk) 20:36, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
