I ran some searches to get a feel for your engine.

It would be good to have conditions grouped by category. For example, a search for lymphoma would ideally be categorized in some hierarchical way.

I would like to know the reasoning behind why physicians were presented. What factors went into choosing them, etc. You need to be able to click on the results and get more info.

I did something similar to this thirty years ago on CDROM. While you have better access to data and can apply new techniques to process the data, this is stil and information retrieval and display problem. The best data is useless if it can't be viewed in a meaningful way.

Agree and thanks for that. We're still thinking how best to map complex disease taxonomies/ontologies into a simple user search and drop-down menu. I like the idea of grouping, it should't be hard.
DRGs based grouping?
