| Q |
What
is the Healthlinks directory? |
| A. |
The Healthlinks
directory is a database of over 350,000 unique healthcare related
websites growing at the rate of 100 to 200 new entries a day. The database is broken into
over 45 categories with thousands of subcategories
and provides resources for both the healthcare consumer and the
professional. |
| Q |
How
is the directory structured? |
| A. |
Because
of the number of listings in the Healthlinks directory we use a
top-down hierarchical structure. An example would be our Medical
Category, the top level Medical
contains several subdirectories such as Providers, Resources, etc.
Within Providers
we have additional subdirectories such as Plastic
Surgery and Dermatology.
Additionally, many of our categories are also segmented into geographic
regions. |
| Q. |
What
is the "Refine by Location" all about? |
| A. |
Using the
"refine by Location" box allows you to select listings by
specific geographic locations. A good example would be within our
Dental Listings. If you are looking for a family dentist in San
Francisco, you would go to the subcategory Practices:Family:United
States and select California in the Refine by Location box. This would
return listings alphabetically by city for family dentists in
California. |
