Abstract

The internet is increasingly used as a source for information and knowledge. Even in the field of healthcare, information is widely available in the internet. In the context of healthcare management, two general questions are of interest: which information or content is provided and how is provided by whom? As sickness funds play a highly relevant role in the German healthcare system, we conduct an exploratory survey to answer these questions. We perform a third party web assessment by doing a complete inventory count of the German sickness funds landscape. Our study provides a foundation for further research by raising first categories that can be used for a theoretical explanatory model.
