First off, if this product interests you, please
read my review of Citizen 1. The
interface, ease of use, power etc. are the same. Citizen 1
Healthcare Internet Tool, HIT, has the same three main headings
as well, Business, Reference and Personal. What HIT adds are the
two healthcare related headings. Medicine is the first with its
subheadings: Disease/Treatment, Epidemiology, Research/Trials,
Medical News and Organizations. The other heading is the
healthcare Industry. Subheadings for this are:
Products/Technology, Medical Economics, Regulatory, Suppliers and
Providers. These are all exhaustively researched and updated
monthly by Citizen 1 Software's healthcare information
technologists. This is the power of the subscription. It is like
having your own full time internet sleuths searching for
information that is aimed directly at your business, the
healthcare industry. Now, does someone with a sore throat need
HIT? No. Take two somethings and don't call me in the morning.
Would a small private rural physician's office require this level
of input? Yearly subscriptions to a dozen of the top journals,
time spent with detailers and staff training could easily justify
the cost. The same is true for healthcare consultants, healthcare
oriented legal firms, small but growing pharmacies or
pharmaceutical companies as well as their larger counterparts.
Today more than ever knowledge is power and time well spent pays
dividends. Now on to set up. Its the same as Citizen 1. Basically
all you have to do is hit Tools/Setup software/Locate default
browser from the registry. That's it. The program updates itself
or you can check by hitting Tools/Update Software. Don't you wish
Communicator really was this easy? Hitting the Help button takes
you to Citizen 1's easy to follow instructions or to their
feedback page. Several questions should come to mind. Is there
likely to be information on W disease, X organization, Y drug or
Z company somewhere on the internet? Will the cost versus time
saving make the investment worthwhile? Can my staff and I learn
to use the technology without having to pay a full time
information technologist? Truthfully, I cannot answer the first
two questions for you. The last is a resounding yes. This is a
very easy program to get started with, learn and use. Here is
what I would do if I was in the healthcare business. Download the
free Citizen 1 and use it for a few weeks. There are some
healthcare links in this version too. Does it help? Can you see
the power and benefits? If these two are yes, then download
Citizen 1HIT [AFTER UNINSTALLING CITIZEN 1!!]. Get setup with the
company for the free week trial and use the dickens out of it. If
its still useful, get out your checkbook and begin using it
everyday.
